Nutri-Grain Bars - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 (18 1/4 ounce) package yellow cake mix
3/4 cup butter
2 1/2 cups quick oats
12 ounces preserves, your choice of flavor or 12 ounces jam
1 tablespoon water

Preparation

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
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 for 20 minutes; top should be very light brown. Cool completely before cutting into bars.
