Oatmeal Butterscotch Bars with Brown Sugar Glaze


These Oatmeal Butterscotch Bars with the brown sugar glaze are so decadent and rich you will not believe you have never made them before. They are so ooey-gooey and perfect. Do not even think for a second about not making the brown sugar glaze. Of course, the bars are perfectly delicious on their own, but the glaze really takes them to the next level.

Ingredients for Oatmeal Butterscotch Bars:
1 cup of Flour
1 teaspoon of Baking Soda
1/2 teaspoon of Salt
3/4 teaspoon of Cinnamon
1 cup of Butter, softened
3/4 cup of Sugar
2 Eggs
1 teaspoon of Vanilla
3 cups of Oatmeal
1 package of Butterscotch Chips, 12 oz.

Ingredients for Brown Sugar Glaze: 
1/4 cup of Butter
1/2 cup of Brown Sugar
1/8 cup of Milk
1/2 cup of Powdered Sugar



Directions for Oatmeal Butterscotch Bars:

First, pre-heat your oven to 350 degrees.

Next, spray a 9x13 in pan with Baker's Joy.

Now, get out a small bowl. Whisk the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon together. Set aside.

Next, using your mixer beat the butter and add the sugar. Beat until it is fluffy. Add the eggs and vanilla. Then, start adding the flour mixture, gradually until it is all well combined.

Stir in the oatmeal, and then the butterscotch chips.

Spread into your pan and bake for 20 minutes. Reduce the heat to 325 degrees and bake for 10 more minutes if the edges are brown but still oozy in the middle.

While your bars are baking, let's start the brown sugar glaze.

Directions for Brown Sugar Glaze:

First, get out a small saucepan place it over high heat and melt the butter.

Now, once the butter is melted, add the brown sugar and bring to a boil. When boiling, lower the heat to medium and stir for 2 minutes.

Next, add the milk and stir constantly while waiting for the mixture to return to a boil.

After the mixture is boiling, remove from the heat and let it come to room temperature.

When it is at room temperature, mix in the powdered sugar with your mixer. Add 1 tablespoon of warm water if needed to get to correct consistency.

Pour the glaze over the bars and spread evenly, you want each bar to get some of this amazing glaze!


Enjoy!

Happy Cooking,
