RHUBARB OATMEAL BARS
A delicious rhubarb bar, great for the first rhubarb of the season, or to use up the last. I have found that cooking the rhubarb in half water half fruit juice (I've used orange or pineapple) enhances the flavour nicely.

Tips:

- Don't overcook the rhubarb: Overcooked rhubarb will become mushy and lose its flavor. Cook it just until it is tender, about 5 minutes.
- Use a good quality oatmeal: The oatmeal in this recipe provides a hearty, chewy texture. Be sure to use a good quality oatmeal, such as rolled oats or quick-cooking oats.
- Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make it tough. Mix it just until the ingredients are combined.
- Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough before baking will help it to hold its shape and prevent it from spreading too much.
