	I\'m not sure if I did something wrong but these came out very mushy. They didn\'t set the way other no-bake cookies I\'ve had do. Did anyone else have the same problem?

	Hmm, it looks a little heavy on the liquids. You could always grind some extra oats into a powder (spice grinder works well) to soak up excess liquid and help them firm up. Oat flour works wonders for this.

	Easy and delicious . Not wanting to ruin a yummy recipe I think it would be nice to substitute 1/2 cup peanut butter with 1/2 cup crushed cashews. Another nice addition could be to add some saltanas. I'll give it a go and let you know.

	No, but it should work equally well, just make sure it is in liquid format before you use it.

	Does anyone think brown rice syrup would work instead of maple syrup?
