Instructions

Line a 9x9-inch baking pan with wax paper, leaving the edges hanging over the sides of the pan.

Add the butter, corn syrup, brown sugar, vanilla, and salt to a heavy saucepan over medium heat and bring to a boil while stirring constantly. Boil for 1 minute before removing from the heat. Pour into a bowl with the oats and mix until fully coated. Pour into the prepared pan and smooth out the top. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to firm up. Slice into bars. Top with a drizzle of melted chocolate if desired. Enjoy!

Tips & Tricks (5)

Oat Texture Mastery 🥣
Toast the quick oats lightly in a dry pan before mixing to enhance their nutty flavor and improve overall texture of the bars.
Syrup Secret Technique 💧
Warm the golden corn syrup slightly before mixing to help it incorporate more smoothly and create a more consistent binding for the oat bars.
Chocolate Drizzle Pro Tip 🍫
Melt chocolate in a double boiler or microwave in 15-second intervals, stirring between each to prevent burning and achieve a silky smooth drizzle.
Chilling Precision 🧊
Allow the bars to set in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to achieve the perfect chewy Starbucks-like consistency, which helps the bars hold their shape.
Butter Browning Hack 🧈
Brown the butter slightly before mixing to add a deeper, more complex caramel-like flavor that elevates the entire no-bake bar experience.
