Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
In a large microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter in short bursts, stirring in between until completely smooth.
Stir the brown sugar into the melted butter until well combined. Add the vanilla extract and mix.
Let the mixture cool slightly before adding the eggs, then whisk them into the mixture until smooth and fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt.
Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, mixing just until no streaks of flour remain.
Add the rolled oats and butterscotch chips, folding them into the batter evenly.
Spread the batter into the prepared baking pan, smoothing it into an even layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 22-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
Remove from the oven and let the bars cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
Once cooled, lift the parchment paper to remove the bars from the pan and cut into 16 squares. Serve and enjoy!
