jammy oatmeal bars

Jammy oatmeal bars sitting on a square plate garnished with three strawberries with water in the background.

Who doesn’t love oatmeal bars filled with jam for breakfast, lunch or an afternoon snack? I might need to establish a teatime tradition just to have an excuse to enjoy chewy nutty treats. The walnuts and cinnamon add to the wholesome flavor of this very easy to make dessert. I slice up the pan of cooled bars and pack them into a container to head out on the road, trail or water.
