Cowboy Cookie Bars

Preheat oven to 325 degrees and line a 9x13 baking dish with parchment paper.

In a large mixing bowl with a paddle attachment, combine avocado oil, water, egg, softened butter, smart sugar and only ½ of the bag of the vanilla cake mix. Mix at medium speed until well combined. Add remaining cake mix and oats. Mix once more until just combined.

Add butterscotch chips, chocolate chips, coconut flakes, pecans and pretzel twists and mix over medium-low speed until just combined and the pretzels are loosely broken into the mix.

Transfer to the parchment-lined baking pan and spread into an even layer using a rubber spatula. Add some chopped pecans, coconut flakes, and loosely broken pretzels to the top for garnish.

Transfer to oven and bake until the center has just set, mine took about 45 minutes.

Allow the bars to cool completely, at least 30 more minutes, before lifting the parchment paper out of the baking dish and carving into squares.
