How to Make Oatmeal Tres Leches Bars

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 13x9 inch baking pan with aluminum foil, leaving a 1-inch overhang on all sides for easy removal.
  2. Spray the foil with non-stick cooking spray.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, sugar, and vanilla extract until light and fluffy.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, oats, baking soda, salt, and pecans.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Press two-thirds of the oat mixture into the prepared baking pan, creating an even layer.
  7. Bake for 15 minutes.
  8. While the crust bakes, prepare the Tres Leches sauce: In a medium saucepan, combine the sweetened condensed milk, cream of coconut, and whole milk.
  9. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture is warm and smooth.
  10. Remove from heat and stir in the white chocolate chips until completely melted and smooth.
  11. Pour the melted white chocolate mixture evenly over the baked oatmeal crust.
  12. Crumble the remaining oat mixture over the top.
  13. Bake for an additional 20 minutes, or until the topping is lightly golden brown.
  14. Remove from oven and let cool completely in the pan before refrigerating for at least 2 hours to allow the bars to set.
  15. Lift the bars from the pan using the foil overhang, and cut into squares.
