Berry Oat Bars

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray an 8x8 baking pan with non-stick spray. Set aside.

Step 2

Mix all ingredients in a large bowl, except for preserves.

Step 3

Using your hands press 2/3 of the mixture into the bottom of your pan until it's even and relatively flat.

Step 4

Gently spread preserves, leaving 1/2" around the outside. (The preserves will scald if up against the edge of the pan.)

Step 5

Using your hands, evenly crumble the remaining 1/3 of the mixture over the top of the preserves and lightly press so the crumbles stay in place after baking.

Step 6

Bake for 25-30 minutes on a center rack until lightly browned on top.

Step 7

Let cool in pan on top of a cooling rack. Cut and serve!
