4. Final batter: combine dry and wet mixes, folding gently until no dry spots remain. Do not over mix. Do NOT beat smooth.
5. Let stand for 30 to 60 minnutes so the oats can absorb the liquid.

NOTE: Increasing both butter and sugar by 25%-50% will make a richer, crisper, and of course sweeter variation.
