It's a time for my weekend baking and am craving for a quick but tasty dessert that can be put together in less than 15 minutes. Any guess?
Definitely my choice goes to Blackcurrant Oatmeal Bars reason being I am able to make use of fruit jam that sits idle in my pantry for quite some time.
Oats are a favorite of my diet and often incorporated into bars and desserts. Not only oats are versatile and inexpensive but they offer a host of health benefits. The oatmeal gives a nice chewiness to these bars.
Spread dough onto bottom of baking pan coated with butter. Spreading dough with wet hands is the easiest method before topping it with fruit jam. I used blackcurrant jam but any jam you have on hand will do preferably a quality and not too sugary ones.
Blackcurrant Oat Bars are easy to make and fantastically delicious! Have given some to my friends, they love them and keep asking for more...
