Oatmeal Scotchy Surprise

We have been trying to get our act together since we got home from our vacation.  So in the meantime try out our Oatmeal Scotchy surprise recipe.
 1 1/4 Cups all purpose flour
1 tsp. Baking Soda
1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp. salt
2 sticks of unsalted butter
3/4 Cup granulated sugar
3/4 Cup brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 tsp. vanilla extract or grated peel of 1 orange
3 Cups quick oats
1 2/3 Cups butterscotch morsels
3/4 Cup chopped pecans
Optional 3/4 Cup of whatever you want to sprinkle on top for the surprise!

I can't tell you what we use or I'd have to kill you!   Just kidding around.  We have used different things every time we make them so be creative....you could even go half and half if you like.

1. Pre-heat oven to 375 F
2. Beat butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract (or orange peel) in a large mixer bowl.
3. Mix flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt in a separate small bowl.
4. Gradually beat the flour mixture into the butter and sugar mixture.
5. Next stir in oats, butterscotch and nuts.
6. Prepare a  9x13 pan by spraying with non-stick spray.  Put batter into pan and spread evenly. Sprinkle surprise topping on.
7. Bake for 22 to 28 minutes...or until center is no longer gooey.  Use a toothpick to test center.
Last but not least, cool on rack, cut and eat!
I would love to hear what your surprise topping is and how it worked out.  Please let me know.
