Easy Fruit Oatmeal Squares

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350F. Coat an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, and lightly grease with cooking spray. Combine oats, flour, sugar, and salt in a medium bowl. Stir in butter, tahini, and oil; mix with your hands until texture resembles coarse sand. Reserve ⅔ cup oat mixture.

2. Spread remaining oat mixture in an even layer in a prepared baking dish. Use your hands or the bottom of a measuring cup to firmly press down. Spread preserves over the oat layer, and sprinkle reserved oat mixture overtop. Bake until lightly browned and bubbly, about 37 to 42 minutes.

3. Cool completely on a wire rack (about 3 hours) before slicing into 12 squares. Store in an airtight storage container at room temperature for 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 6 days.
