Products Used

Extra Fine Granulated Pure Cane Sugar Bag

Ingredients

1/2 cup rolled oats
1/4 cup all-purpose flour* or whole wheat flour
1/4 cup firmly packed Dixie Crystals Light Brown Sugar
1/4 cup Dixie Crystals Extra Fine Granulated Sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup chopped, sliced or slivered nuts (walnuts, pecans, or almonds)

*Spoon & Sweep method: Use a spoon to fill measuring cup with flour until required amount is obtained. Scooping measuring cup directly into flour bag will firmly pack flour resulting in too much flour required for recipe.

Directions

Toss oats with flour, sugars, and cinnamon.
Rub mixture between your fingertips to blend evenly.
Cut butter into mixture using a pastry cutter or 2 knives until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add nuts and toss lightly to mix.
Bake at 375°F or as directed for the recipe you're making. General rule of thumb is approximately 30-40 minutes.
