1. Preheat your oven to 350°F.

3. You don't want the mixture hot yet warm and able to be whisked together to blend nicely.
4. Next, into your food processor or blender, pulse your oats down to a flour (1/2 cup). Then add your in tact oats, starch, baking soda and salt.
5. Pulse a few times to blend.
6. Then add your wet ingredients and pulse several times.
7. Then by hand mix in the white chocolate chips and popcorn.
8. I felt the popcorn blended better using my hands to mix.
9. Then pour the batter out into a 8x8 glass pan.
10. Press firmly into you pan.
11. Bake 24 minutes or until the edges are golden.
12. Remove and let it cool for 10 minutes out on the counter and then I refrigerated for about 30 minutes.
