Ingredients
- 1 13-ounce jar apricot jam or preserves (about 1 1/4 cups)
- 8 dried apricots (chopped into 1/4-inch pieces (about 1/3 cup))
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 packed cup light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 3/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 3/4 cups old-fashioned oats
- 1 cup 4 ounces coarsely chopped walnuts
- 1 cup 2 sticks unsalted butter, melted
- 1 egg (at room temperature, beaten)
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
For the Crust:
Instructions
- Put an oven rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9 by 13 by 2-inch metal baking dish with vegetable oil cooking spray. Line the bottom and sides of the pan with parchment paper. Spray the parchment paper with vegetable oil cooking spray and set aside.
- Filling: In a small bowl, mix together the jam and the apricots. Set aside.
- Crust: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cinnamon, salt and baking soda. Stir in the oats and walnuts. Add the butter, egg and vanilla and stir until incorporated.
- Using a fork or clean fingers, lightly press half of the crust mixture onto the bottom of the prepared pan. Using a spatula, spread the filling over the crust leaving a 1/2-inch border around the edge of the pan. Cover the filling with the remaining crust mixture and gently press to flatten. Bake until light golden, about 30 to 35 minutes. Cool for 1 hour. Cut into bars and store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

I’ve made these bars several times. They are the perfect breakfast, snack, or dessert!
These are great!! I wanted something that could be a snack as well as an option for breakfast. This filled the bill!! When I made a second batch I used raspberry jam for the filling, just as yummy!
The Apricot Oat Bars are delicious, they're not too sweet and are the perfect snack. My family loves them!
