You’ll Need:

1 cup butter, softened
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 cup all purpose flour
1/2 cup almond meal/ flour (substitute plain flour if needed)
1 1/2 cup of oats
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 teaspoon almond extract

1 Jar of Jam or Preserves (Fig, Strawberry, Raspberry, Blackberry, blueberry, etc)

Combine all of the ingredients in a bowl, mixing well. Spread half of the mixture into a 9″x9″ baking dish that has been buttered, spread a layer of your favorite jam on top, crumble the remaining half of the mixture on top of the jam (It will form a “bar” top when it bakes) Bake at 375F for 20-25 minutes. Cool & cut into squares.

Nutri-Grain Bars (The Quickie Version)
1 pkg yellow cake mix
3/4 cup butter
2 1/2 cups quick oats
12 ounces preserves or jam

remaining crumb mixture. Pat firmly to make top even. Bake at 375 for 20 minutes–top should be very light brown. Cool completely before cutting into bars.
