Tips:
- Use ripe and fresh cherries. This will ensure that your oatmeal squares are bursting with flavor.
- Don't overcook the oatmeal. Overcooked oatmeal will be mushy and not hold its shape well in the squares.
- Let the oatmeal squares cool completely before cutting them. This will help them to hold their shape and prevent them from crumbling.
- Store the oatmeal squares in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. You can also freeze them for up to 2 months.
Conclusion:
Cherry-filled oatmeal squares are a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or snack. They are packed with flavor and nutrition, and they are a great way to use up fresh cherries. Whether you are a fan of cherries or not, you are sure to enjoy these oatmeal squares. They are a perfect treat for any occasion.
