I made these from the recipe before I read the blog. They differ in the cooling instructions. Blog says to cut & flip out of the pan after 10 min. I followed the recipe instructions which are to cut into bars after 10 min, then cool completely in the pan. They are VERY hard to get out of the pan.
I also had the same problem Cleosa did in that they were crumbly. Now, however, 2 days later, they are holding together in bars (we just eat them out of the pan until they're gone.) I think the August humidity is helping to hold them together. I used the sticky bun sugar substitute with sugar, butter and corn syrup. I also subbed white flour for the oat flour.
Thanks, Lucy - I think they need to come out of the pan sooner rather than later, so I changed the recipe to reflect the blog. The Sticky Bun Sugar helps hold them together, too; the sub. doesn't work quite as well, but it DOES work OK (or at least it did for me!) Thanks for the input. - PJH
