01
Step 1
Start by melting some butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Once it's melted, add the quick oats and cook them for about 30 seconds, stirring to warm them up. Next, drizzle in the maple syrup and corn syrup, giving everything a good stir so the oats get nicely coated. Sprinkle the brown sugar over the oats, then take the pan off the heat right away. Keep stirring for a minute or two until the sugar melts and the oats are glossy and sticky.

Step 2
Transfer the oat mixture to a bowl, then toss in the chocolate chips along with the almond and vanilla extracts. Stir gently to spread the chocolate chips evenly throughout. Spread the mixture out on a flat, shallow pan and let it cool completely.
