Make 16 Crunchy Oatmeal Marmalade Bars in about 30 minutes! Packed with oats, coconut, nuts, brown sugar and marmalade, they're DELICIOUS!
- 2 cups old-fashioned oats
- ¾ cups chopped walnuts (or pecans)
- ½ cup dark brown sugar
- ½ cup shredded sweetened coconut
- 6 Tablespoons orange marmalade
- 6 Tablespoons butter melted
- ½ teaspoon salt
-
Preheat oven to 400℉. Grease or spray an 8" x 8" baking dish (bottom and sides). Note: If doubling the recipe use a 10" x 15" baking dish.
-
Measure all ingredients into a large mixing bowl. Stir very well until the ingredients are fully combined, slightly crumbly and sticky.
-
Pour oat mixture into prepared baking dish. Use your fingers to FIRMLY press the oat mixture out to fully cover bottom of the dish. Continue pressing down on oats a little bit at a time, until firmly packed down in the dish.
-
Bake at 400°F. for 18-22 minutes. When done, bars should be well-browned, crispy and firm to the touch. I typically cook mine the entire 22 minutes to ensure crispiness, but your time may vary, due to fluctuating oven temps.
-
Remove baking dish from the oven; place on a wire rack to cool. Let the bars cool completely, then slice into 16 portions (each 2" x 2"). Serve and enjoy.
