LOW-FAT PINEAPPLE OATMEAL SQUARES
The biggest problem I had while making these is that I kept wanting to eat the batter, though I'm glad I saved some for cooking. Note: they hold up better overnight and stay moist if they are slightly undercooked. They have no egg, and can be made with non-dairy margarine for those with dietary restrictions.

Yield 16 2 inch bars

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. For cookie base: In a medium bowl, whisk together oats, flour, baking soda and salt and set aside. In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugars using an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 2 to 3 minutes. Add egg and vanilla and mix until fully incorporated. Add dry ingredients, about 1/3 at a time, mixing for just a few seconds with each addition until the dry ingredients have been barely incorporated. Finish mixing by hand, stirring to make sure that dry ingredients have been fully incorporated. Grease an 8 x 8-inch pan using the butter wrapper. Press 2/3 of the cookie base into the greased pan then set aside. For the filling: Place butter, condensed milk and chocolate chips into a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 30 seconds and stir. Continue microwaving in 10 to 15 second increments until chocolate has just melted and mixture is smooth. Add salt, vanilla, marshmallows and nuts and stir to incorporate. Pour into baking dish and spread evenly over cookie base. Topping: Dot the top of the filling with remaining cookie batter. Filling will still be visible between clumps of batter. Sprinkle marshmallows and chocolate chips evenly over top and bake for 28-32 minutes, until marshmallows are nicely browned. Allow the bars to cool before cutting. Tip: You can use a 9-inch square pan, but will need to bake for 5 to 7 minutes less. If you double this recipe, bake it in a 15 x 10-inch pan for 5 to 7 minutes less.

Tips:
- Use rolled oats. Quick oats will make your squares too mushy, while steel-cut oats will make them too chewy. Rolled oats provide the perfect balance of texture.
- Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make your squares tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Chill the dough before baking. This will help the squares to hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
- Bake the squares until they are golden brown. This will ensure that they are cooked through and have a chewy texture.
- Let the squares cool completely before cutting them. This will help to prevent them from crumbling.
Conclusion:
Oatmeal squares are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a snack. With endless possible variations, you can customize your oatmeal squares to suit your own taste.
