Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Pulse the old-fashioned oats in a food processor until they are coarsely chopped, then set aside.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted unsalted butter and both sugars, whisking until smooth and creamy. Mix in the egg, vanilla extract, and molasses.
  3. Fold in the coarsely chopped oats along with the all-purpose flour and any additional dry ingredients until just combined.
  4. Transfer the batter to a lined 8x8-inch baking pan and spread evenly. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake for 20-24 minutes.
  5. Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan, prepare the vanilla glaze and drizzle it generously over the bars before slicing.
