October 6, 2019–I wanted to make something healthy-ish so I went to my trusty ATK cookie cook book. Of course ATK does not promote alcohol, or so I thought. I just ordered their How to Cocktail book so I expect I will be learning the science behind cocktails soon, but I digress. After setting my oven to 350 degrees and lining a 13 x 9 inch pan with foil, I whisked some flour, old-fashioned oats, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl.
I browned some butter until it had a nutty aroma, poured it over some butterscotch chips, and whisked until smooth.
Once the mixture is combined, I mixed in the egg, vanilla, sugar until combined.
Then in two additions I mixed in the flour mixture.
This mixture was poured in the previously prepared baking pan. Bake until edges are golden brown and a toothpick comes out with a few crumbs attached.
While the bars baked, I made the toping. I boiled some water, salt, and sugar in a pot then poured it over some butterscotch chips. This mixture was whisked until smooth.
After the bar is done you drizzle the topping on top of it.
After it cools, remove and slice into bite sized pieces.
