Believe it or not, I found this recipe in my magazine clippings from 1990, and I'm just making it now. That must tell you how organized I am, or not. This recipe interested me because the first word in the recipe was cinnamon. and I love cinnamon, on anything, in anything. This recipe also has oatmeal and raisins, so it can't be that bad for you, right? I would have used dried cranberries, but I've made several recipes with them lately, and I still have a few more to make. I just think that the craisins would make them more festive. There is also a layer of preserves and raisins, so I used orange marmalade, which went well with the cinnamon and raisins. I gave them a drizzle of vanilla glaze, and added a few M and M's for color. These bars are so good, with a crispy crust, chewy raisins, oatmeal topping, and sweet jam.
These bars came together quickly. You make the Crumb topping, reserving one cup, press in the pan, and bake for 10 min. Then spread the jam or marmalade over the baked crust, and sprinkle raisins over the jam, and sprinkle the reserved topping over the raisin layer. Decorate as desired. Enjoy!
