Instructions

Brown the butter in a saucepan over medium heat until golden and fragrant. Let cool slightly.
In a mixing bowl, whisk flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until combined.
In another bowl, mix browned butter with brown sugar, granulated sugar, eggs, vanilla, and molasses until smooth.
Gradually add dry ingredients to wet ingredients; fold in oats until just combined.
