1 box yellow cake mix
3 cups quick cooking oats
12 ounces jam of choice
1/4 cup margarine melted
Combine cake mix, oats, and margarine in a large bowl. Blend until you have fine crumbs. Spray a 13x9 inch baking pan with non-stick cooking spray. Using half of your mixture, press it into the bottom of the baking pan. The bottom of a measuring cup works well to pack it down. If your jam is thick, thin it down with about a tablespoon or two of water.
Spread the jam over your first layer, to about within 1/4" of the edge. Sprinkle the remaining crumb mixture evenly over the jam and press this down until well packed.
Bake in a 350° oven for 20 - 30 minutes or until edges are a golden brown. Allow to cool completely and cut into 1x2 bars. You can wrap them individually in wax paper for an easy to pack snack. Should yield approximately 24 bars.
