Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.75 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup powdered sugar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan and line it with parchment paper, allowing some overhang for easy removal of the bars later.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, all-purpose flour, brown sugar, baking soda, and salt. Stir until evenly incorporated.
Pour the melted butter over the dry ingredients and mix until the mixture forms a crumbly texture.
Press half of the oat mixture into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly to form the base layer. Reserve the remaining mixture for later.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy.
Pour the cream mixture over the pressed oat base, spreading it evenly but leaving about 1/4 inch of space around the edges to prevent over-spill during baking.
Sprinkle the reserved oat mixture over the cream layer, gently pressing it down to adhere but leaving it crumbly for texture.
Bake in the preheated oven for 22-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the edges are set.
Remove from the oven and allow the bars to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
Once cooled, lift the bars from the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Cut into 12 equal-sized bars and serve.
