Ingredients

1: cup Gold Medal® whole wheat flour

1/2: cup old-fashioned or quick-cooking oats

1/2: teaspoon baking powder

1/2: teaspoon baking soda

1/4: teaspoon salt

3/4: cup packed brown sugar

1/4: cup canola oil

1: teaspoon vanilla

1: egg

1/2: cup strawberry preserves

1/2: cup cut-up dried apricots

2: teaspoons butter

Directions

1 Heat oven to 350°F. Spray 8- or 9-inch square pan.

Expert Tips

The old-fashioned oats lend a homemade appearance and texture to this fruity bar. You can make Peach-Apricot-Oat Squares by substituting 1/2 cup peach preserves for the strawberry preserves.
