Ingredients

  • 1 cup flour

  • 3/4 cup caramel topping
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 3/4 cup butter, melted
  • 3 Tbsp flour

Preparation

Step 1

* Sprinkle with chocolate chips.

* Warm up caramel topping in the microwave for about 30 seconds, just enough to make it a little runnier and easier to pour.

* Blend the caramel topping with the 3 tablespoons of flour until well mixed and then drizzle over the chocolate chips.

* Sprinkle the rest of the oat mixture evenly over the top and then bake at 350 for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.

* Cool before slicing and serving.
