LOW-FAT PINEAPPLE OATMEAL SQUARES
The biggest problem I had while making these is that I kept wanting to eat the batter, though I'm glad I saved some for cooking. Note: they hold up better overnight and stay moist if they are slightly undercooked. They have no egg, and can be made with non-dairy margarine for those with dietary restrictions.

ELSIE'S PINEAPPLE OATMEAL BARS
A sweet lady at the church I attended growing up used to make these for potlucks and church dinners. She once gave me the recipe on a card, which I've long since misplaced, but I had copied the recipe into another cookbook and have made it many times. Every time I take these bars somewhere, people ask for the recipe. They're also great made with zucchini pineapple (the recipe is also posted here on the zaar, by another chef). I like to cut the sugar down by at least 1/4 cup, because the pineapple is sweet enough, and I've always made these with real butter. Quick oats or old-fashioned will work, but the old-fashioned does make it a little more challenging to press the crust into the pan. I intend to try a mixture of the two at some point, but haven't ever done it. These would be great for a bake sale, potluck, or gifts. The crust does tend to be a little soft, so I'd be sure to package with something firm underneath, rather than just wrapping in plastic. I've seen other recipes that add nuts, coconut, etc. I'm sure that would be great as well, but this is just the basic, buttery, oatmeal and brown sugar crust and topping. Yum!

Steps:
- For the filling, combine the sugar and cornstarch in a saucepan and mix well. Add the pineapple and its juice, and cook over medium heat until thickened, stirring constantly. Cool.
- For the crust, combine oatmeal, salt, brown sugar, flour, and baking powder together. work in butter until mixture is uniform.
- Reserve 1 1/4 cup of crumb mixture, and press the rest into an ungreased 9 x 13 pan, working up edges just slightly to help hold filling off of the edge of the pan.
- Pour filling over oatmeal mixture and spread evenly.
- Sprinkle reserved crumbs evenly over filling.
- Bake at 350 for 20 minutes. cool and cut into bars.
Tips:
- For a crispy crust, use old-fashioned oats instead of quick-cooking oats. - If you don't have coconut oil, you can substitute it with unsalted butter or vegetable oil. - For a sweeter oatmeal bar, add 1/2 cup of brown sugar or honey to the batter. - If you want to add some crunch, sprinkle some chopped nuts or seeds on top of the batter before baking. - For a fun variation, try adding some dried fruit, such as cranberries or raisins, to the batter. - Store the oatmeal bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. - You can also freeze the oatmeal bars for up to 2 months. To freeze, wrap the bars individually in plastic wrap and then place them in a freezer-safe bag.
