A while back I linked to a recipe for Raspberry Oatmeal Bars at Buns in my Oven that I wanted to try. And try it I did. And not only are they delicious they are quick and easy to make too! We’ve made several batches in the past few weeks and we’ve even played around a bit, making a few subtle changes which I thought I’d share!
* 1/2 cup brown sugar
* 1 cup plain flour
* 1/4 tea spoon baking soda
* 1 cup rolled oats
* 1/2 cup butter (cold)
* 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon
* 1/2 cup of jam (any flavour you like)
* 1/2 cup of berries (any kind you like)
Preheat your oven to 180 C and line a slice tray with foil and lightly grease.
Combine the butter, flour, sugar, baking soda and oats in a big bowl and using your fingers rub in the butter till it makes a nice oaty, crumbly mix. Press about 2 cups of the mixture firmly into the bottom of the slice tin. Cut up your berries in to smallish bits or in the case of mullberries just smoosh them up a little and mix them with the jam to make it extra fruity, then spread the fruity mix over your base. Add the cinnamon to your remaining mix and then lightly press it over the top of the jam.
Bake for 35-40 minutes or until lightly browned. Don’t over bake – it’s better slightly under done than over done! Cool completely before cutting.
It never lasts more than a day in our house which is why I have no photos!!

I bet my crew would love these!!!
Ooooohhhh…
That sounds delicious!
I might have to give it a try… and perhaps not share with the small people!
Yum, sounds like the parfect school snack. ta !
I think I could make these and not stuff them up..I’d love to use them for school lunchboxes…
I may actually have all that. I may also wait for the new oven. Mine is an occupational health and safety issue :)
If only Goosetrap wasn’t allergic to oats…I want him to try spelt (since I found some organic product that rolls spelt just like oats as a substitute) to see if he’s ok with that but he keeps muttering about hospital visits and telfast…
Hey Kate,
every week I’m picking up recipes to try! loving it!
Would it be possible for you to make your links open in a new window?
Hi Trace – what browser are you using? You should be able to right click on any link and choose how/where to open it. Let me know if that doesn’t work :)
