Black Raspberry Oatmeal Bars

8 ingredients
4 steps

Ingredients

  • 1 (18 1/4 ounce) package yellow cake mix
  • 2 1/2 cups quick-cooking oats, divided
  • 1/2 cup butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup applesauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 (10 ounce) jar seedless black raspberry preserves
  • 1 teaspoon water
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice

Directions

  1. 1
    Preheat the oven to 375 and grease a 9X13 pan.
  2. 2
    In a large bowl, mix the cake mix, 2 cups of the oats, butter, applesauce, and vanilla. Add the remaining oats a little at a time until the mixture just starts to form big clumps. (Discard the rest.).
  3. 3
    In a separate bowl, mix the preserves, water, and lemon juice. Press 1/2 the crust dough in the pan. Slather on the preserve mixture, keeping away from the very edges so the fruit doesn't burn. Sprinkle remaining crust mixture on top.
  4. 4
    Bake for 18-20 minutes, until the top crust is lightly browned.
