Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- 0.25 cup granulated sugar
- 1 unit large egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 2 cups quick-cooking oats
- 1.5 cups toffee bits
- 0.5 cups chopped pecans (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well incorporated.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
Stir in the oats, toffee bits, and chopped pecans (if using) until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Spread the dough evenly into the prepared baking pan, pressing it into an even layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is set.
Remove from the oven and let the bars cool completely in the pan before cutting them into squares.
Serve and enjoy! Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
