01 -
  • The combination of chewy oat base and creamy maple topping creates the most satisfying texture contrast
  • They come together in under 40 minutes but taste like something from a fancy bakery
02 -
  • Press the base mixture firmly into the pan or your bites will crumble instead of holding together
  • Let the base cool completely before adding the glaze or it will melt right off
03 -
  • Use the bottom of a measuring cup to press the base mixture evenly into the pan
  • If your glaze is too thick, add milk one teaspoon at a time until it drizzles easily
