  • 10 Tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1/3 cup light brown sugar, packed
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Method

  1. Preheat oven to 375F (190C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper
  2. Melt butter in a sauté pan over medium heat until bubbling subsides and butter browns, about 5 minutes. Strain butter through a coffee filter and cool to room temperature.
  3. Beat butter with brown sugar, sugar and egg until smooth. Stir in vanilla. In a separate bowl, stir oats, flours, cinnamon, baking soda and salt to combine. Add oat mixture to butter mixture and blend. Stir in choice of chocolate chips, raisins, walnuts, and/or coconut.
