Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 0.75 cup light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 2 piece large eggs
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 1.5 cups butterscotch chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a large saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Once melted, remove from heat.
Stir in the granulated sugar and light brown sugar, mixing until smooth. Allow to cool slightly for 2-3 minutes.
Add in the vanilla extract and eggs, one at a time, whisking well after each addition.
Sift the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt directly into the saucepan. Stir until just combined.
Fold in the rolled oats and butterscotch chips, ensuring they’re evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the mixture evenly into the prepared 9x13-inch pan, spreading it into an even layer with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is set but slightly soft.
Remove from the oven and allow the Scotchies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
Once cooled, cut into squares or bars and serve. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
