Ingredients
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 cups quick/instant oats
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup butter melted
- Optional: pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F and line a 9x13-inch baking dish or two 8-inch squares with parchment (optional, but makes removal a whole lot easier!)
- In a large mixing bowl, stir together 1 cup packed brown sugar, 2 cups quick/instant oats, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, ½ cup butter, and Optional: pinch of salt until well mixed.
- Firmly press the mixture into your pan(s).
- Bake for 10 minutes or until golden and bubbly. Bars will be soft straight from the oven but will crisp up as they cool.
- Allow to cool for 5 minutes and then turn onto a cutting board. Run a knife along the edges if necessary to release. Then cut into bars while still warm.
- Cool completely and then store in an airtight container at room temperature until ready to eat.
