Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375.
- Coat an 8"X 8" baking pan with cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, combine oats, flour, sugar, cinnamon, baking powder, salt and vanilla and stir to mix well.
- Add the margarine and cut it quickly into dry ingredients with two knives until the mixture resembles coarse meal and is no longer powdery. Do no overmix--bits of margarine will still be visible.
- Set aside about half the oat mixture; press the rest firmly into the pan. Bake until lightly browned at the edges (but not fully baked), 13 to 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, mix the preserves with the spinach puree in a small bowl.
- Spread blueberry mixture over the partially baked oat layer, then sprinkle with reserved oat mixture. Bake until topping is slightly browned, 20-25 minutes. Set the pan on a rack to cool completely before cutting into 12 bars.
- Spinach Puree:.
- Steam baby spinach(for mature spinach-remove stems) for about 30-40 seconds or cook in skillet with 1 tablespoons water for about 90 seconds or just until wilted. Puree in food processor or blender for about 2 min until smooth and creamy.

Tips:
- For a chewier texture, use whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour.
- If you don't have fresh spinach, you can use frozen spinach that has been thawed and squeezed dry.
- To save time, you can use a pre-made pie crust instead of making your own.
- Be sure to drain the spinach thoroughly before adding it to the batter, or the bars will be too wet.
- For a gooey, decadent center, use a combination of cream cheese and sour cream in the filling.
- If you like nuts, you can add chopped walnuts or pecans to the batter or the filling.
- For a sweeter bar, add a cup of sugar to the filling.
- For a savory bar, add a teaspoon of garlic powder and a half teaspoon of onion powder to the filling.
- Serve the bars warm or at room temperature.
