  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a square 8x8 baking pan and set aside.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and brown sugar with an electric mixer over medium speed until crumbly.
  3. In a separate smaller mixing bowl whisk together flour, salt, and baking powder. Add oats to the dry ingredients and stir to combine. Add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture and mix well.
