Strawberry Oatmeal Bars

I'm always looking for a healthier alternative to give my little girl a special treat. I feel good about giving her these bars because I know exactly what goes into them.



2 cups old fashioned oats
1 1/2 sticks of butter
1 1/4 cups of flour
1/2 cup of sugar
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. salt
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 cup strawberry jelly
cooking spray
Combine oats, flour, sugar, salt, cinnamon and vanilla in a large bowl. With two knives, cut in butter until mixture is no longer a powder. Spray 8 x 8 pan with cooking spray. Press half the mixture down into baking pan. Bake for 12 minutes at 375 degrees. Spread strawberry jelly and add the remaining mixture to the top. Bake for an additional 25 minutes until golden. Cool before cutting
