Description

This may look like granola but it is really oatmeal coated with caramel and then baked to a satisfying crunch. You will find lots of uses for this, even you don’t eat it off the cookie sheet first!


Ingredients

Scale

8 T butter
1 c dark brown sugar
1 t vanilla
1/4 t salt
2 c uncooked oatmeal


Instructions

Preheat oven to 325.

Mix butter, brown sugar, vanilla and salt in a small saucepan over low heat stirring constantly until the sugar has dissolved. (This doesn’t take long.)

Put the oatmeal in a bowl, pour the melted caramel sauce over and toss the mixture until the oatmeal is coated with sauce.

On a parchment lined baking sheet, spread the oatmeal in a thin layer. Bake for about 20 minutes, stirring once or twice. Remove from oven and cool. Store in an airtight container.
