  • Make sure the butter is at room temperature before using it. This will make it easier to mix and spread.
  • If you don't have a microwave, you can melt the butter in a saucepan over low heat.
  • Be careful not to overcook the oats. They should be chewy, not crunchy.
  • Press the oat mixture firmly into the pan. This will help the bars hold their shape.
