I followed the recipe exactly, but my bars just didn't turn out right. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my bars turned out terrible. They were burnt on the bottom and raw in the middle.

I was really disappointed with these bars. They were dry, crumbly, and too sweet.

The bars were a bit too crumbly for my taste. I think I'll try using a different type of flour next time.

I found the bars to be a little dry. I think I'll try adding a little bit of butter or oil to the crust next time.

These bars were a little too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try using less sugar next time.

These bars are also great for freezing. I like to make a batch and then freeze them for later.

I like to add a little bit of chopped nuts to the oat topping for extra crunch.
