(Not Really) Starbucks Oat Bars

• 1/2 cup unsalted butter
• 1/2 cup light brown sugar packed
• 1/4 cup light corn syrup
• 1/4 cup milk or almond milk
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 3 1/2 cups quick cooking oats

1. Preheat the oven to 325u0b0F/162u0b0C and grease and line a 9x9 inch pan with parchment paper.
2. In a food processor, grind 2 cups of the oats until it resembles a fine flour, about a minute on high speed. Transfer to a large bowl and stir in the remaining 11/2 cups of oats. Set aside.
3. In a small saucepan, melt the butter, sugar, syrup, and salt together over medium heat until the butter is completely melted and the sugar has dissolved. Remove from heat and whisk in the milk and vanilla extract.
4. Pour the butter mixture over the oats and stir until thoroughly combined. Scoop into your prepared pan and, wetting your fingers a little bit under the tap first, press the oats into the pan firmly and evenly.
5. Bake for 15-20 minutes (I found that 17 minutes was perfect), until the edges are slightly golden and the middle no longer looks wet.
6. Allow to cool on a rack before slicing into 8 bars. Store in an airtight container in the fridge.
