I am in love….with these Fruity Jam Oatmeal bars:)
Breakfast could sometimes be extremely boring, with the same old same old…which is why it’s time to switch it up! These beauties are great for on the go, or just when your at home and want something different. The bars are a combo of oatmeal and your favorite jam (s), and between you and me can easily feel and pass as a dessert…but who’s complaining. Nope not me.
With TuB’Shvat right around the corner, this recipe is perfect, as you can easily incorporate your favorite dried fruits. Pair up your fave dried fruits with their sister jams, or mix and combine, orrr just use ol’ delicious jam.
For this recipe I divided the batch and used half with Raspberry jam (my favee) and the other with Apricot jam. A buttery moist bottom, with a fruity sweet jam in the middle, and finally topped with a cinnamony (is that a word?- now it is…:) crumble on top.
If your thinking wow that sounds so good!
You are so so right.
So let’s get baking! and Happy (early) TuB’Shvat!

For crumble- combine all dry ingredients until it becomes a crumbly mixture (depending on the amount of sugar you use, will be how dark the crumble itself will look)

Bake for 15-20 minutes, insert a toothpick, when it comes out clean it’s ready. Let it cool for a few minutes before cutting into them.
