    Caramel Spiced Oat Bars are a soft and pillowy, chocolate chip, lightly spiced oat bar filled with the best buttery caramel ever. They're gooey with a lightly crisp outside and when I made these, they disappeared in seconds!

    These bars are perfect for any occasion. Brunch, lunch, snack, dessert, family gatherings.... This is one of those versatile recipes that is a definite crowd pleaser and also so quick and easy to make. (You can even trick yourself into thinking these are semi healthy with the oats!)

    These are so easy to make. You don't even need a mixer! Just one bowl for the oat mixture and one saucepan for the caramel. For the caramel I use my Caramel Filling recipe as I find this is the best caramel recipe ever! It's buttery, sweet and everyone raves about it. This caramel is also very thick which is what we want for this filling. If you choose to use a different recipe or a store bought caramel, please make sure it is a thick consistency not a sauce.

    For the oat bars. Place all the dry ingredients in a bowl and mix together. Add in the melted butter, eggs and vanilla essence and mix together. Finally add in the chocolate chips and that's  it! This mixture can honestly come together in five minutes. All that's left to do is to layer the oat mixture and caramel filling and then bake!

    The end result is a soft, chocolatey, sweet caramel, chewy oat bar with a slight taste of spice. You just have to try these!
