Steps:
- Mix together all the ingredients in a bowl until it forms a sticky dough. If the mixture is dry and not sticky, add a bit more honey and/or peanut butter; different peanut butter brands perform differently here.
- Add a sheet of parchment paper to a 9 x 9 pan. Place the ingredients in the pan and press it into an even layer. Use a small glass to roll over the top to get it smooth.
- Freeze the bars for 15 minutes. Remove the pan from the freezer and use the parchment to lift it out of the pan. Cut into 16 squares or 32 rectangles. Store refrigerated for up to 2 weeks. You can eat right away, or refrigerate for about 1 hour for a more solid texture.

MICROWAVE OATMEAL JAM BARS
I've had this recipe for many years. We got our first microwave in 1983 and this recipe was in the book that came with it. (Sharp Carousel microwave cookbook) It's quick, easy and delicious. The recipe says it makes 32 small bars, but it's hard to cut them that small.

Tips:
- Use old-fashioned oats: Quick-cooking or instant oats will not provide the same texture and flavor as old-fashioned oats.
- Adjust the sweetness: The amount of maple syrup or honey can be adjusted to taste. For a less sweet bar, use less sweetener or omit it altogether.
- Add mix-ins: Feel free to add your favorite mix-ins to the oatmeal bars, such as raisins, nuts, dried fruit, or chocolate chips.
- Don't overcook the oatmeal: The oatmeal should be cooked until it is tender but still has a little bit of a bite to it. Overcooked oatmeal will be mushy.
- Let the oatmeal bars cool completely: This will help them to set and hold their shape.
Conclusion:
Microwave oatmeal bars are a quick and easy breakfast or snack that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are a good source of fiber, protein, and healthy fats. With a variety of mix-in options, oatmeal bars can be customized to everyone's liking. So next time you're looking for a healthy and delicious treat, give microwave oatmeal bars a try!
