Once firm, remove the bars from the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Cut into squares and serve. (Prep time: ~5 minutes)
For a richer flavor, use salted butter and add a pinch of sea salt to the oat mixture.
Customize your bars by adding chopped nuts, dried fruit, or shredded coconut to the oat mixture.
If you don't have an 8x8 inch pan, a similar-sized pan will work. Adjust baking time as needed.
For easier cutting, warm a large knife under hot water before slicing.
