1/3 cup Old fashioned oats, not quick cooking oats
1tsp of cinnamon
1/4 tsp freshly grated nutmeg
1/8 tsp. ground cloves
1/2 cup or 1 stick of cold butter cut into pieces

Instructions
Preheat oven to 375 F. Prepare an 8×8″ baking dish with butter or non-stick cooking spray. Set aside.
In small bowl, combine oats all purpose flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and spices. Add the cold butter pieces and either use a pastry blender, two knives, or your hands to cut the butter into the mixture until it resembles small crumbs. Set aside.
