Time 45m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 10

cooking spray
½ cup pecan halves
1 cup old-fashioned oats
1 cup all-purpose flour
¼ cup brown sugar
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
½ cup chilled unsalted butter, cut into cubes
¾ cup apricot preserves

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray bottom and sides of an 8-inch square baking dish with cooking spray.
  • Pulse pecans in a food processor until coarsely chopped, 3 to 5 times. Add oats, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt; pulse 3 to 4 times.
  • Sprinkle butter cubes over the top of the flour-oat mixture. Pulse until butter is the size of small peas, 3 to 5 times.
  • Spread 1/2 of oat mixture into the bottom of the prepared baking dish, pressing down lightly. Spread apricot preserves over oat mixture to 1/4-inch of the edge. Top with remaining oat mixture and press down lightly.
  • Bake in preheated oven until golden brown, 35 to 40 minutes. Cool before cutting.

These squares are the perfect healthy snack. They're filling and satisfying, but they're not too heavy.

I thought these squares were just okay. They weren't bad, but they weren't amazing either. I probably won't make them again.

These squares were a little too sweet for my taste. I think I'll reduce the amount of sugar next time.

I'm not a big fan of apricots, but I loved these squares. The flavor of the apricots was subtle, and the other ingredients really balanced it out.

I loved the texture of these squares. The oats gave them a nice chewiness, and the apricots and nuts added a bit of crunch. I also really liked the flavor of the glaze.
