Tips: This is one of my favorite family recipes. These jam squares are good for breakfast or dessert. My favorite is to use berry preserves, such as boysenberry or blackberry, but you can really use whatever your family prefers or maybe even something you've canned yourself. Light preserves or jam will also work well with this recipe. I suggest putting the jam in a small bowl and stirring it well before trying to spread it on the oat mixture. This should make it easier to spread. Also, either quick or old-fashioned oats can be used. I also shared this recipe at 8 Muddy Boots' From Scratch.
