I love that these squares can be made with any type of jam. I've tried them with strawberry, raspberry, and blueberry jam, and they're all delicious.

These squares are the perfect balance of sweet and tart. The oats give them a nice chewy texture, and the jam filling is perfectly tangy.

These squares are also a great way to use up leftover jam. I always have a jar or two in my fridge, so it's nice to have a recipe that uses them up.

These squares were a total flop. The dough was too dry and the jam filling leaked out everywhere. I won't be making these again.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my oatmeal jam squares turned out really dry. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what happened.

I thought these oatmeal jam squares were just okay. The texture was a bit dry for my taste and the flavor was a bit bland.
