🥄 Use old fashioned rolled oats only — quick oats turn mushy and steel cut oats stay too chewy.
⏲️ Let the bars cool completely before cutting, at least 2 hours at room temperature, to prevent the filling from running.
🥥 For a dairy-free version, swap the melted butter with an equal amount of melted coconut oil.
