Yields: 9 squares  |  Prep Time: 15 minutes  |  Cook Time: 25-30 minutes

What You'll Need

  • 1 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup Walnuts, chopped
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Putting It Together

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8x8-inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, chopped walnuts, oats, brown sugar, baking soda, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  3. In a separate smaller bowl, whisk together the melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir with a spatula until just combined. The dough will be thick.
  5. Press the dough evenly into the prepared baking pan.
  6. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Let the squares cool completely in the pan before slicing.
