Cinnamon Vanilla Oat Cream Bars

Ingredients

• 2 cups oat flour
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar, divided
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1 cup heavy whipping cream
• 2 large eggs
• 1 tbsp vanilla extract
• 2 tbsp Salted Perfection Cinnamon Vanilla Finishing Salt

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, ensuring there is a bit of overhang for easy removal later.
2. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the oat flour, melted butter, 1/4 cup of the sugar, and the ground cinnamon. Stir until the mixture resembles wet sand and holds together when pressed.
3. Press the oat mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan. Bake the crust for 12 minutes until it is lightly golden and the aroma of toasted grain fills the kitchen.
4. While the crust cools slightly, whisk together the heavy whipping cream, eggs, the remaining 1/4 cup of sugar, and the vanilla extract in a separate bowl until the custard is silky and completely smooth.
5. Pour the cream mixture over the warm oat crust. Return the pan to the oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center has a slight, seductive jiggle.
6. Remove from the oven and, while the bars are still radiating heat, sprinkle the Salted Perfection Cinnamon Vanilla Finishing Salt evenly across the surface so the flavors can bloom into the cream.
7. Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan at room temperature, then chill in the refrigerator for at least two hours before slicing into squares. DUNZO!
