I'm a vegan, so I substituted the butter for vegan butter and the eggs for flax eggs. The oat squares turned out great! They were just as delicious as the original recipe.

These oat squares are a great way to use up leftover fruit. I had some strawberries and apricots that were about to go bad, so I decided to make these. They turned out so well! The oat crust is the perfect complement to the fruit.
