Ingredients

  • 1 and 1/2 cups quick cooking oats
  • 1/2 cup rice krispies
  • 2 tablespoon unsalted chilled butter
  • 1/4 cup butterscotch chips
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon chocolate chips
  • few drops butterscotch essence

Instructions

  • Dry roast oats till nice aroma comes and is slightly browned ,do it in low flame. It may take 5-8mins.
  • Now in a mixing bowl take oats and rice krispies. Mix it once, Keep aside.
  • In a sauce pan take butterscotch chips, brown sugar and butter.
  • Heat it up, first it will melt to form a gooey liquid.
  • Then it will start to bubble up, cook for a minute, keep mixing and switch off the flame and add butterscotch essence, give a quick mix.
  • Now our this into the mixing bowl, mix well with a ladle.
  • Mix well so that the sauce is evenly coated.
  • Lay aluminum foil in a tray and quickly transfer the mixture to it.
  • Spread it well then pat it with a flat bottomed bowl to get a even top.
  • When it is still warm sprinkle choco chips, it will easily stick to the bars. Refrigerate for 15mins. Cut and keep refrigerated until serving time.
  • Serve Butterscotch Oatmeal Bars with a glass of milk.

Notes

  • I used cane sugar but you can replace it with brown sugar too.
  • I used rolled oats as I had it in hand, I just pulsed it 2 times in mixie. But for this recipe quick cooking oats should be good to go.
  • You can skip butterscotch chips and add more brown sugar too.
  • If you don’t have butterscotch chips then add brown sugar 1/2 cup and 1/4 cup of nuts and dry fruits.
  • If you don’t have rice krispies just skip it and add 1/2 cup oats instead.
  • Refrigerating gives firmness and its easy to cut.
  • If you are planning to store keep refrigerated else the bars start to become crumbly and fall apart easily.
  • I got around 20 medium sized bars.
  • Just plus or minus the ingredients but keep in mind that sugar should be more to make the mixture sticky which will yield bars, if the mixture is crumbly then it will become muesli 🙂
  • You can skip butterscotch essence and make it vanilla flavored too.
