- ✓Use old-fashioned rolled oats rather than quick oats because their larger surface area and intact structure provide better moisture absorption and prevent the final texture from becoming mushy.ingredient
- ✓Let the oat mixture rest for 10-15 minutes before baking so the oats can fully hydrate and expand, which creates a more uniform, less dense final product.timing10-15 minutes
