CHEF JOEY'S OATMEAL, FRUIT & NUT BARS



Chef Joey's Oatmeal, Fruit & Nut Bars image

I made these little gems this morning as part of my holiday baking. I'm not sure where I found this recipe. They should be cooled thoroughly before removing from the baking pan. I used hazelnuts, but I think almonds, walnuts or pecans would also work here. I used kumquat preserves in mine. You can use raspberry or apricot too.

Time 50m

Yield 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2 cup vegan margarine (or 1/2 cup light oil)
2/3 cup packed brown sugar
1 1/2 cups oats (not instant)
1/2 cup spelt flour (white)
1 cup hazelnuts (toasted and chopped fine)
1 cup golden raisin
1/2 cup tart jam preserves

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375'F.
  • Lightly spray a 8x8 inch square baking dish with oil.
  • Cream the margarine and brown sugar together until well blended.
  • Stir in the oats, flour and toasted chopped hazelnuts. Mix well. Remove one cup of this mixture and set aside.
  • Press the remaining mixture into the bottom of your prepared pan. Try to get it as even as you can.
  • Mix the raisins and preserves well. Spread this mixture on top of the oat mixture leaving a 1 inch border around the edges without any raisin mixture.
  • Sprinkle the reserved oat mixture on top of the fruit and press down lightly.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes until the top is golden.
  • Cool these for about 10 minutes.
  • Then, with a wet, sharp knife cut the squares into 16 pieces. Dip the knife in water every time you cut, this is sticky.
  • Let the squares cool and cut again before removing.
  • These are delicious warm or cold and would be great with a dollop of non-dairy whipping cream or some vanilla soy ice cream.
  • Bon Appetit!
