Their fruity filling and fluffy coconut topping make these bars truly one of a kind. They really dress up my trays of Christmas goodies.

These are delicious. I made them exactly as recipe states - but next time I'd make them in an 8x8 pan for a thicker bar. Flavor is perfect - won't change ingredients.

I altered this recipe to make it gluten free to suite my family. I used GF quick cooking oats, GF baking flour mix and added 1/2 tsp xanthan gum. I also decided to do 1/4 cp sugar and 1/4 cp brown sugar instead. I used a local, all natural strawberry rhubarb jelly and omitted the coconut due to personal preference and sprinkled the top with cinnamon instead. These were fantastic!! I will be making these many, many more times.

I made a few changes to this recipe. I used an 8x8 pan, but I kept the same measurements for the dry ingredients. I wanted a thicker top crust, as described by a couple other reviews. I also finely chopped some pecans and added that to my bottom layer. I used Raspberry preserves instead of strawberry and I drizzled melted white chocolate over the top once it was cooked and cooled a little. The bars were excellent and everyone loved them! A keeper recipe!

My son (4) and I made these yesterday afternoon and we are for breakfast this morning-delicious!I realized I was out of butter after we began so I substituted an equal amount of coconut oil (melted) and it worked fine!I also used up the last of the box of Earth's Best baby oatmeal in this (about 1/4 cup)-worked great!I also used up the last of 2 jars of preserves-organic Rasberry and Grape. We forgot to mix in the coconut so we just sprinkled it on top-my son was very generous with it so we likely had about 1/2 cup instead of 1/4 cup.These were very yummy! A great sweet start to the morning:)

For the holidays I replaced the strawberries with cranberry strawberry jam I made last summer. The coconut flavor was just the flavor needed. Love it and super easy!

Since I'm allergic to coconut, I altered the recipe a bit (also wanted to make it a little healthier). I replaced 1/2 cup flour with 1/4 cup organic Oat Bran, and 1/4 cup ground Flax Seed. I also replaced the Preserves with Strawberry All Fruit. Today was my birthday so my kids and I decided we should have this for our first time on this date. It was EXCELLENT! This recipe is so flexible, it has endless possibilities! I'll definitely make it again and again!

Use boysenberry jam in place of strawberry preserves and the bars were delicious!!! Will make again and again with different preserves.

I needed to make something for coffee hour after church services and discovered that a different recipe that I made didn't work out. Luckily, I had all the ingredients that I needed for this recipe.I did one batch of the oatmeal mix and put that on the bottom of the 9x13 baking dish. Then I added the whole can of strawberry preserves. I made an additional batch of the oatmeal mix for the topping, mixing 1 cup of coconut, basically doubling the recipe in one pan. Man, it came out great! I had so many compliments for this recipe!
