Preparation

Step 1

1. Preheat oven to 350˚F.
2. Place flour, oats, sugar, cinnamon, and crushed sea salt into a bowl and whisk together. Cut in butter with a pastry knife or your fingers until a fine, mealy texture forms.
3. Press 2/3 mixture into an 8”x 8” baking pan, lined with parchment. Top with dulce de leche, spreading to create and even layer.
4. Top dulce de leche with remaining oat mixture and finish with a sprinkle of butterscotch and sea salt flakes.
5. Bake bars for 22 to 27 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove from oven and allow to cool for at least 30 minutes before cutting and serving.
