I also saw this recipe in Cooking Light, and have been planning to make it for ages. I finally made it for a family dinner, and it was a big hit. I followed the directions exactly, using 2 eggs and subbing chopped walnuts for the toasted pecans. You would never know it had oatmeal in it or was a low-fat dessert, and the end result is a strong nutty flavor with lots of crumbly topping. This one is a winner even for those not on a diet.
