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.

These were a bit too dry for my taste, but the flavor was good. I think I'll try adding some extra butter or oil next time.

Easy recipe, delicious result! The squares were moist and flavorful, with a perfect balance of pineapple and oats. I loved the crumbly oat topping as well. Definitely recommend this recipe.

Just made these squares and they turned out great! I used fresh pineapple instead of canned and they were so flavorful. The texture was also perfect, with a nice crispy crust and a soft, chewy interior. Will definitely be making these again!

These pineapple oatmeal squares were a hit with my family! They were easy to make and had the perfect balance of sweetness and tartness. I especially loved the crunchy oat topping. Definitely a recipe I'll be making again.
