Ingredients

1 ½ cups Quaker® Oats (quick or old fashioned, uncooked)
1/2 cup finely chopped pecans
1 ¼ cups packed light brown sugar, divided
1/4 cup butter or margarine, melted
2 packages (8 oz each) cream cheese, softened
1 tsp vanilla extract
3 large eggs, at room temperature
1/2 cup sour cream
3/4 cup butterscotch caramel topping
Sea salt

Cooking Instructions

Heat oven to 375°F.
Line 18 medium muffin cups with foil liners.
In large bowl, combine oats, pecans, 1/2 cup of the brown sugar, and the butter, blending well.
Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the mixture into bottom of each foil-lined muffin cup, then press evenly and firmly to form crust.
Bake 8 to 10 minutes, or until golden brown.
Remove from oven and cool.
Reduce oven temperature to 325°F.
In large bowl, beat cream cheese on medium-high speed of electric mixer until light and fluffy, scraping bowl occasionally.
Add remaining 3/4 cup brown sugar and vanilla; blend well.
Add eggs, one at a time, beating just until blended.
Add sour cream; mix well.
Divide batter evenly among prepared muffin cups.
Bake about 20 to 22 minutes, or just until set.
Cool in pans on wire rack.
Chill at least 2 hours.
Just before serving, top each individual cheesecake with scant tablespoon of butterscotch caramel topping (if too thick to spread, place in microwave for a few seconds to soften).
Sprinkle a few grains of sea salt over and serve.
