  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 12 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.25 cups butter (melted)
  • 1.5 cups quick oats
  • 2.25 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1.5 cups brown sugar
  • 0.25 cups butter (melted for caramel)
  • 1 cup brown sugar (for caramel)
  • 0.25 cups milk
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons flour (for caramel)

Instructions

  1. Melt the butter in a microwave-safe container for 1 to 2 minutes until liquefied, ensuring it’s hot but not bubbling.
  2. In a large bowl, combine melted butter with oats, flour, and brown sugar; stir until you achieve a sticky yet crumbly texture.
  3. Grease a 9×13 inch baking pan and press two-thirds of the oat mixture into the bottom, then bake at 325°F for about 10 minutes until golden.
  4. In another saucepan, melt remaining butter and whisk in brown sugar until glossy; then add milk, vanilla extract, and flour until velvety.
  5. Spread the hot caramel evenly over the baked crust and crumble the remaining oat mixture on top; return to the oven at 300°F for 20 minutes until golden.
