The fall theme for November continues with these delightful butterscotch oatmeal bites with caramel chips as a topping.
I was really very pleasantly surprised at how good these were. In fact, I reserved 1/4 of the finished bars for my own breakfast in the coming days.
There are only one and a half cups of sugar, no flour, peanut butter, oatmeal, eggs, and some butterscotch and caramel chips in the bars. These did not taste sweet at all.
Which is why I reserved some for personal eating.
The recipe didn’t call for the caramel chips but a mostly used bag of them was stored in the same container as the butterscotch chips and I thought what the hell and added them on top.
Next time, and there will be a next time, I will replace some of the peanut butter with banana and halve the sugar. Some sweetness will be lost because of the lesser amount of sugar but will also be gained with the banana.
Probably one of the best new things I’ve made all year.
