01 Step
Recipe View
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Generously grease an 8 or 9-inch square baking pan. (5 minutes)
02 Step
Recipe View
In a large mixing bowl, combine the vegetable oil and quick-cooking oats. Ensure the oats are well-coated with the oil. (2 minutes)
03 Step
Recipe View
Add the packed light brown sugar, light corn syrup, sea salt, and vanilla extract to the oat mixture. Stir until all ingredients are thoroughly combined and a somewhat sticky dough forms. (3 minutes)
04 Step
Recipe View
Press the oat mixture firmly and evenly into the prepared baking pan. Use the back of a spoon or your fingers to ensure a compact and level surface. (3 minutes)
05 Step
Recipe View
Bake in the preheated oven for 12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown and the center is set. (12 minutes)
06 Step
Recipe View
Remove from the oven and let cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. This is crucial for the toffee to set properly. (60 minutes)
07 Step
Recipe View
Once completely cooled, lift the toffee from the pan by cutting into 4 large squares. (2 minutes)
08 Step
Recipe View
Melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips in a double boiler or microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth. (5 minutes)
09 Step
Recipe View
Pour the melted chocolate evenly over the oatmeal base, spreading it to the edges. (2 minutes)
10 Step
Recipe View
Immediately sprinkle the chopped, toasted nuts evenly over the melted chocolate. Gently press the nuts into the chocolate to help them adhere. (1 minute)
11 Step
Recipe View
Allow the chocolate to cool and set completely before cutting. This can be sped up by refrigerating for about 30 minutes. (30 minutes)
12 Step
Recipe View
Once the chocolate has set, cut each of the 4 large squares into 9 smaller pieces. Serve and enjoy!
For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a pinch of cinnamon or a dash of espresso powder to the oat mixture.
Toasting the nuts enhances their flavor and adds a delightful crunch. Spread them on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes, or until lightly golden and fragrant.
Line the baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on two sides, to easily lift the toffee out of the pan after baking.
Use high-quality chocolate chips for the best flavor and melting consistency.
For a richer flavor, substitute brown butter for the vegetable oil.

Aug 24, 2024The toffee was a little crumbly for me. I think next time I'll try adding a tablespoon of melted butter to the oat mixture.
