Nutri-Grain Bars

At GNO the other night we were talking about making these. I am pretty sure it was Chelby Sutton that wanted the recipe, but can't remember for sure. Here you go! I have never made these, but here is how....


1 pkg yellow cake mix
3/4 cup butter
2 1/2 cups quick oats
12 ounces preserves or jam
1 T water

Preheat oven to 375. Melt butter. Combine cake
mix and oats in a large bowl; stir in the melted
butter until the mixture is crumbly. Measure half
of this mixture (about 3 cups) into a greased
13x9x2−inch pan. Press firmly into pan to cover
the bottom.

Combine preserves and water; spoon over crumb
mixture in pan, and spread evenly. Cover with
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.

This makes me wonder why the name? I don't think they are very nutricious. There is fruit, right, that qualifies then? How about the grain? Hmmm....funny.
