Instructions
- 1
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a 20x20cm baking dish and line it with parchment paper.
Tip: Use a high-quality parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- 2
In a medium saucepan, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and 150ml of water. Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves.
Tip: Use a candy thermometer to monitor the temperature of the sugar syrup.
- 3
Bring the sugar syrup to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 10 minutes, or until the syrup reaches 115°C (239°F). Remove from heat and carefully whisk in the dulce de leche.
Tip: Be careful when adding the dulce de leche as it may splatter.

In a separate saucepan, whisk together the flour, oat flour, and salt. Add the cold butter and use a pastry blender or your fingertips to work it into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Tip: Use a light touch to avoid overworking the mixture.
- 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the egg mixture, whisking until just combined. The batter should still be slightly lumpy.
Tip: Don't overmix the batter, or it will become tough.
- 6
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top. Pour the dulce de leche over the batter and sprinkle with cinnamon, nutmeg, and rolled oats.
Tip: Make sure the dulce de leche is evenly distributed for the best results.
- 7
Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the dulce de leche is bubbly.
Tip: Use a toothpick to check for doneness.
- 8
Remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes before serving.
Tip: Serve warm, topped with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream if desired.
- 9
To make the streusel topping, combine the oat flour, brown sugar, and salt in a small bowl. Add the cold butter and use your fingertips to work it into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Tip: Use a light touch to avoid overworking the mixture.
