I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my oatmeal squares turned out dry and crumbly. I'm going to try again and see if I can get them right.

These oatmeal squares were a little too tart for my taste, but my husband loved them. I think next time I'll use less cranberries and pomegranates.

These oatmeal squares were a hit with my family! They're the perfect balance of tart and sweet, and the oats give them a nice chewy texture. I'll definitely be making these again.
