Easy Raspberry Oatmeal Bars

I mades this recipe like a hundred years ago around the holidays and remember really enjoying them even though there’s no chocolate in sight. Ha! Anyway, I had the urge to make them again this weekend and YAY had everything I needed in the pantry. And when I say everything, It’s like four ingredients which is awesome when you’re in the mood for a last minute, late night treat.

It seems almost silly to show you the steps because this is so easy, but I will anyway.

Stir together a yellow cake mix, some quick cooking oats and melted butter.

Mix together until the ingredients are crumbly and moist like this.

Then, just press half of the mixture into a 13 X 9 inch pan, spread some raspberry preserves (or other favorite fruit flavor) on top and cover with the remaining crumb mixture.

Press the top layer gently on top and bake away.

Voila! You’ll love these quick and easy fruit-filled bars!

  1. This looks like a quick fix for holiday baking! I love that it needs just four ingredients and no chocolate. I’m wondering if frozen raspberries work as well as fresh ones in this recipe. Also, how does the texture hold up if you swap yellow cake mix for vanilla? Sounds simple enough to try tonight. For those wanting something light between gaming sessions, this might be perfect.
