Strawberry Oatmeal Bars

At enrichment night, a new friend of mine (Jamie Strong) made these delicious treats. I couldnt get enough of them so I made them myself later that week. SO EASY!

1 package yellow cake mix (always a good way to start a recipe)
2 1/2 cups quick oats
1 cup strawberry jam (best if it is homemade, but store bought will do)
3/4 cups butter or margarine, melted
1/4 milk or evaporated milk
1 Tbsp water

Preheat oven to 375 - grease 9x13
Mix cake, oats, butter and milk
Press 1/2 of mixture in bottom of pan
Mix jam and water and spread over crust in pan
crumble/sprinkle the remaining oat mixture in pan
Bake for 20 mins or until top begins to brown. DO NOT OVER BAKE!
Cool before cutting into bars (but if you cant wait, then dig in - they just wont hold a bar shape)

P.S. Jamie also teaches Piano Lesson (so if you or your children are interested....)
