> Cinnamon Fruit Oat Bars

>

> 2 cups rolled oats, not quick cook

> 1 cup flour

> 3/4 cup brown sugar

> 1/2 tsp. baking soda

> 1 tsp. cinnamon

> dash cardamom (optional)

> 3/4 cup butter or marg. melted

> 1/2 cup raisins, craisins, or chopped dates (even figs work)

> 1/4 cup of your favorite jam (any flavor, I like peach or strawberry)

> Powdered Sugar if you want to make a drizzle across the top (optional)

>

> Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

> Combine first 6 ingredients (7 if you use cardamom) and reserve one cup and

set aside. Pat the mixture into a greased 9 X 9 square pan.

> Combine the raisins or other fruit if you use another with the jam, now toss

with the remaining one cup oat mixture you set aside, and smooth over the top of

layer in pan.

> Bake at 350 degrees for 23-30 minutes until edges are golden brown, take out

of oven and give it a look. You don't want it too dark or it will become hard.

It's still very tasty if it's hard.

> Let pan cook down a little, while it's still warm cut into squares.

> Make drizzle icing with powdered sugar and water, when it's thick but slowly

drips from spoon, drizzle across top of squares. When icing sets, remove

squares from pan.
