Maybe you are cutting it too soon without letting it to cool down completely and that's why it keeps falling apart.</em></strong> hi madhu

Hi Deepa, I really don’t know what’s happening. Maybe you are cutting it too soon without letting it to cool down completely and that’s why it keeps falling apart.

For the second batch, I switched to 1.5 cups of cranberries, a cup of almonds, and a cup of crushed dried banana chips. These came out excellent. <strong><em>That's a neat idea Walter.

I was pretty sure that you should be able to get rolled oats anywhere. Rolled oats and quick cooking oats can be used interchangeably while baking. You can use either fine or medium flakes, it's your choice.</em> </strong> Madhuram,

I have one question to ask. Can we use normal oats instead of quick cooking? Where I live it's not easy to find the latter but we get regular steel-cut in plenty. Does it make any difference to the final product? <strong><em> Latha, I'm pretty sure that steel cut oats will not be suitable for this recipe. If it's ok please tell me/email where you live so that I can also search for related information in the net.</em> </strong> Madhuram, The bars look amazing. I have one question to ask.

By seeing the picture with browned edges I think I have used a dark coating non stick pan. Did you line the pan with foil? Have you followed the exact measurements I have given or did you change any of that? Actually these bars do not need 35-40 minutes, because it is more of binding together all the ingredients and cooking the oats. You can see that it does not have any leaveners, so there is no necessity to think that it has to rise etc. </em></strong> Hi Madhu,

Kavita, to tell you the truth I don’t remember if I used a glass pan or a non stick pan. By seeing the picture with browned edges I think I have used a dark coating non stick pan.

I'm going to try lite coconut milk instead of condensed milk - the fat in the coconut milk is so healthy and I just love the flavours it adds to baking. I'll let you know if it works! :) <strong><em>That's a good idea, but you will have to do something for the sweetness.

That’s a good idea, but you will have to do something for the sweetness. Do let me know after trying it Anne.
