Simple and Delicious Butterscotch Oat Squares

My husband grew up eating these oat squares.  His mama always used to make them and when we got married she gave me the recipe and I have to say that I quickly came to love them too.  They are super simple and quick to make and perfect for when you’re craving something sweet but not too complicated.

Here’s the recipe:

Ingredients:

2 cups of oats

1/2 cup butter melted

1 cup brown sugar

1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract

Directions:

Combine oats and brown sugar in a bowl.  Mix well.

Add melted butter and vanilla.  Mix thoroughly.

Spread mixture evenly on the bottom on a baking dish.  You want a fairly thin layer (maybe 1/2 inch max.).

Bake at 375 for 10-12 minutes or until golden.

Squares will be soft but will harden on cooling.  Allow to cool fully before cutting into squares with a sharp knife and removing.

Now try to eat just 1 square!

Enjoy!
