Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

2 ¼ cups rolled oats
1 cup butter, melted
1 ½ cups packed brown sugar
½ teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon molasses
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

Place rolled oats and brown sugar in a bowl. Pour melted butter over oats and stir to combine. Let mixture stand at room temperature overnight so oats absorb butter.

Bake in preheated oven until edges are brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Allow to remain on sheet a few minutes, until firm, then immediately remove with spatula to cooling rack.
