1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt

Caramel/Pumpkin Filling
1 11oz bag Kraft Caramel Bits
2 Tablespoons Heavy Cream
Coarse Sea Salt
1/3 cup pure pumpkin puree
1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice

Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Place foil or parchment paper to line a 8x8 square baking dish and spray with cooking spray.  a large mixing bowl, mix the oats, flour, brown sugar, melted butter, baking powder and salt. Place 1/2 of this mixture in the bottom of the pan and press down a bit. Bake for 10 minutes. Remove and Sprinkle with the white chocolate chips and butterscotch chips. While that is in oven, in a medium saucepan, heat caramel bits & heavy cream until melted, add a dash of coarse sea salt, the pumpkin puree and pumpkin pie spice, stir well. Remove the crust from the oven and pour the pumpkin caramel mixture over it. Then, carefully top with the remaining oats mixture. Bake for about 18-20 minutes until the edges start to brown. VERY IMPORTANT: allow to cool completely before cutting into square as the caramel needs to set up.

Before baking

After Baking, look at that oooey gooey pumpkin caramel goodness oozing out.

Just look how the pumpkin spiced caramel beautifully oozed between the crackly top.
