Tips:
- For a chewier bar, use 1 cup of oats and 1/2 cup of flour. For a crispier bar, use 1/2 cup of oats and 1 cup of flour.
- If you don't have a food processor, you can chop the oats and pecans in a blender or by hand.
- Be sure to press the crust firmly into the pan so that it doesn't crumble when you cut the bars.
- If you don't have dried cranberries, you can use raisins or chopped dried cherries instead.
