Took me one bite to start ranting and raving over these. They are super easy. Definately did NOT take 20 minutes at 400. Took 17 min for me. So watch carefully. VERY Yummy!!

These are lovely. I made the dough in advance and froze it. The day before I planned to bake them, I let the dough defrost in the refrigerator. I then used about 2/3 of the dough for the bottom layer, spread on the preserves, and crumbled the remaining 1/3 on the top. These are fragile but a nice refreshing change.

Great recipe, I like to sprinkle the top with sliced almonds and mix a little almond extract in with the crust mix - it goes really well with the raspberry jam.

I prefer blackberry jam and I really like this recipe. It comes out crispy and it reminds me just a little of pop tarts, but healthier.

I used 1/2 c butter and a single serve tub of cinnamon applesauce. They turned out chewy and yummy! Thanks!

I used a jar of Smuckers Simply Fruit. These were delicious. Even better heated up and adding a scoop of vanilla ice cream. These would also be good with other preserves.

This was AWESOME! A good way to use my oatmeal :)

These were very good! I didn't change anything.

Better that the raspberry oatmeal cookie bars!

People loved these. I thought they just tasted like homemade Nutrigrain bars.

Great recipe, very easy to make. Thank you!

Everyone at work loved these. I added a couple of tablespoons of unsweetened applesauce and it wasn't crumbly at all. Because it was just easier to soften two sticks of butter, I increased the total of amount of crust by 25%. Perfect! Now that I know how good they are this way I may try to experiment to make them a little more healthy.

Great. If you want less crumbly bars, replace 1/4 of the butter with applesauce. Also, we found one cup of jam to be more than enough -- I think I would only use 3/4 cup next time. It's very easy to spread if you pop it in a bowl in the microwave for 30-40 seconds.

Mmmmmmm : ) These were yummy! I added 3 tbsp of peanut butter to the sugar butter mixture and used seeded raspberry jam and it turned out really well.. Also added a bit of cinnamon and nutmeg to the mixture - YUM! I'll def make these again, though I think next time I'll add a bit more of the oat mixture as I was a bit short for the top half! And I baked on a slightly lower temp to avoid the jam burning... Fabulous!

The hubby loves them but says to use less butter next time. They're VERY crumbly though.. can't make the bars that'd be handy. However, they're tasty.

Quite tasty and really easy to make. I used half white wheat flour and half all purpose flour to get the total 1 1/2, just to make it a little healthier. A 8 in. pan was perfect for me, since I like thicker layers. I will use less sugar next time, especially since the preserves were sweet on their own. Careful not to use too much preserves, it can taste like a glob of jelly otherwise--I just spread them on until I thought it was covered enough. I might try wheat germ and cinnamon additions next time. Thanks for the recipe, I love oats in anything!

Oh My GOSH! I made this (with a few changes, see below) a few days ago, and my boyfriend is obsessed, then I gave some to some friends, and they were pretty much freaking out over how great they were! I can't stop eating them either! I take them as snacks to work, or have them with tea for breakfast. MMMMM!!!!! I am going to be making these forever! CHANGES I MADE(to the 32 serving mix): I added a tablespoon of CINNAMON, and 1 and a half teaspoon of NUTMEG to the OAT MIXTURE. ALSO I did 1.5 times the amount of preserves, so it was 1 jar (10oz) of BLACKBERRY PRESERVES, and half of a 10 oz RASPBERRY PRESERVES jar. Next time I think I will add in some real blackberries, blueberries, and/or raspberries. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE WONDERFUL RECIPE! oh yeah and I just "greased" the pan with PAM "for baking" and it worked great.

I was looking for a healthy snack bar - this was great. I melted Smart Balance instead of using butter and it worked perfectly. I'll be making this alot!
