Ingredients

• 1/4 cup maple syrup
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 2 Tbsp. cornstarch
• 2/3 cup cold water
• 2 Tbsp. butter
• 1 3/4 cups quick-cooking oats
• 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a small saucepan, bring syrup to a boil, cook 3 to 5 minutes or until liquid is reduced by half.

2. In a small bowl, mix sugar and cornstarch; whisk in water until smooth. Whisk into reduced syrup. Return to a boil; cook and stir for 1 to 3 minutes or until thickened. Whisk on 2 Tbsp. butter until blended. Remove from heat.
