Ingredients

2 cups old fashioned oats
1 cup all purpose flour
2 tablespoons wheat germ
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
10 tablespoons butter
1/3 cup chopped nuts (I used almonds)
1/4 cup honey
2 cups apple butter or preserves

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Place all the ingredients except the apple butter or preserves in a food processor.
Pulse until the ingredients are combined and oats and nuts are in small pieces.
Press all but 1 cup of the mixture into the bottom of a greased 9 x 9 inch pan lined with parchment paper.
Cover the oat mixture with apple butter or preserves.
Crumble the remaining 1 cup of oat mixture over the apple butter or preserves.
Bake for 30- 35 minutes.
Cool, use parchment paper to move bars to a cutting board and cut into bars.*

Notes

*For perfectly cut bars, refrigerate for an hour before cutting into squares.
