Notes
Fillings you can Substitute:
fig peach blueberry apple plum strawberry boysenberry pineapple apricotTIPS:
You can use any kind of flour. Substitute 1 teaspoon of molasses added to white sugar if you don't have brown sugar. Add more or less cinnamon to taste or even allspice in the crust. Finely crushed pecans can be added for a nutty crunch. Cooking these longer will make the oatmeal bar crunchier. Use 1/4 cup less jam if you want more crust/less jam filling. All-natural jams and sugar-free work fine. Only use seedless jam and any flavor works (I.E. strawberry, blueberry, cherry, and apple). Omit the oil if using other fine flours like oatmeal and almond flour.Nutrition
