- 2 cups Oats
- 1 1/4 cup Flour
- 1/2 tsp Baking Soda
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 3/4 cup Butterscotch Chips +1/4 cup for Drizzle
- 1 cup Unsalted Butter, browned and cooled

- 1 Egg
- 2 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 1/2 tsp Sea Salt for Drizzle
- 1 Tbsp Milk for Drizzle

Instructions
- In a medium saucepan or skillet, heat over medium heat and brown butter. Allow to cool slightly – or place in fridge until the butter sets, about 20 minutes. Prepare other ingredients while cooling.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 13×9 inch baking dish with non stick spray, then line with parchment paper, and spray again with non stick spray to adhere to the bottom of the pan.
- In a bowl, whisk together the oats, flour, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
- In another bowl, beat together the cooled butter and brown sugar, until a creamy paste forms.
- Whisk together egg, and vanilla. Pour in the flour/oat mixture and combine.
- Add in butterscotch chips, and chopped walnuts.
- Pour mixture into the baking dish, press in to evenly distribute through the dish.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out with just a few crumbs on it. When done, set on a cooling rack.
- For glaze, in a microwave safe bowl or cup, melt together remaining butterscotch chips, brown sugar, and milk. Heat in increments to ensure the butterscotch chips do not scorch. Stir to form a glaze.
- Drizzle over the top of the cooling bars. Sprinkle with sea salt.
- Cool completely, then slice and serve.
