Pecan Nougat Oatmeal Bars
Oatmeal is never out of place when it brings together two great tastes like pecan and nougat. Add your own medley of dried fruit and nuts with a little less nougat to turn these into homemade bars.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, softened
- 1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 eggs, separated
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
- 2 cups Large Flake Quaker® Oats or Quick Quaker® Oats (uncooked)
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
- 3/4 cup chopped, lightly toasted pecans
How to make it
- Heat oven to 350ºF. Spray a 13 x 9 x 2-inch metal baking pan with cooking spray.
- In large bowl, beat butter, 1/2 cup brown sugar and the granulated sugar with electric mixer until creamy. Add egg yolks, water and vanilla; beat well. Add combined oats, flour and baking soda; mix well.
- Spread dough evenly in bottom of pan. Bake 15 minutes or until deep golden brown. Remove from oven to cooling rack.
- Reduce oven temperature to 325ºF. In medium bowl, beat egg whites with electric mixer until foamy. Gradually add the remaining 1/2 cup brown sugar, beating until stiff peaks form. Spread over warm crust to edges of pan.
