Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the brown sugar and stir until smooth and bubbling, about 2 minutes.
- Remove from heat and stir in the oats, nuts, vanilla, and salt until well combined.
- Spread the mixture evenly on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, stirring halfway through, until golden brown and fragrant.
- Let cool completely on the baking sheet. The topping will crisp as it cools.
- Break into small pieces and store in an airtight container.
Tips
- For a chocolate version, add 2 tablespoons cocoa powder with the oats.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
- Sprinkle over ice cream, yogurt, or even pancakes.
