Thanks laurajane.

Looks really yummy. Love oat bars like these.

LOL! Merry Christmas.

If I had to walk it off I could circle the globe several times on one fill-up.

Thanks Nancys.

Sorry PG--I have been naughty and eating rather than taking pictures. Now I am walking it off!

It's about time yarn I was starting to loose a little weight. Have a merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

Thanks for the recipe, I was going to ask. We will give it a try

{ Oat & wholemeal shortbread bars } Original recipe by Julia Tuomainen @ Mélanger

* Ingredients *
150g wholemeal flour
150g rolled oats, proceedd
75g brown sugar
1 tsp baking powder
150g unsalted butter
1 egg
1/2 cup ?no added sugar? jam (I used the ?French? jam in tall glass jar)

* Directions *
Sift the flour and baking powder into a bowl, and add in the processed oats. Set aside. In the bowl of a mixer, cream the butter and sugar until fluffy. Add the egg and mix well, then add the flour mix and stir only to combine. Spread half of the dough on the base of a prepared 18 x 27cm baking tin. Wrap the remaining dough in plastic wrap. Chill both for 30-60 minutes. Preheat the oven to 180C. Spread the base of the dough with the jam, then crumble the reamining dough on the top. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until slight brown. Transfer to a cooling rack.
