Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups (187.5 g) all-purpose flour
- 2 cups (180 g) old-fashioned oats
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ cup (1 stick / 113 g) unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1 cup (200 g) light brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 tablespoon molasses
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups (340 g) butterscotch chips, divided

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175 degrees C). Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with baking spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, stir together flour, oats, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- To the bowl of a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, add butter and brown sugar. Beat on low speed until smooth.
- Add eggs, molasses, and vanilla. Mix until all ingredients are fully incorporated, stopping to scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
- With the mixer still on low speed, slowly add the dry ingredients until fully incorporated.
- Add 1 ½ cups of butterscotch chips and mix until just combined.
- Press the dough into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the top with the remaining ½ cup of butterscotch chips.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden and an inserted toothpick comes out with a few crumbs, but not wet batter. Allow bars to cool in the pan.
- Drizzle with butterscotch sauce. Cut and serve.
