Yum! These apricot bars are SO good  – just the right mix of sweet, tangy, and crumbly! I especially love that they’re made with more oatmeal than flour.

Easy Recipe with Oats

Rolled oats are a staple in our house! I love baking with them and have been on an oats kick lately. Everyone at our house is big fans of these oatmeal muffins and overnight slow cooker oats are always a great option! So, I thought it was a great time to share these delicious apricot oatmeal bars. They work well as an “anytime” sweet treat. Obviously, they make a simple & delicious dessert. But they would certainly look beautiful as part of a brunch spread! Apricot Oat Bars RecipeNot only are these bars tasty, but they are really easy to make! You probably have all the ingredients on hand already, except for possibly the apricot preserves. Recipes with very few ingredients like this are always a win! With just 6 in these apricot bars, you just really can’t go wrong!

Apricot Preserves

You can use store bought or you can make our easy apricot jam/compote recipe if you happen to have some apricots on hand. Our favorite store-bought apricot preserves variety is this one (affiliate link). But you can’t ever go wrong with homemade if you’d prefer. Just note, if you do make homemade apricot preserves, they may likely be a little runnier than the store-bought variety. The taste will still be fabulous though! YUM! Whichever apricot preserves you choose, making the bars is super easy! Just a little mixing and layering, then bake! Making apricot crumble barsSuper easy! Then, about 30 minutes later, you’ll have these tasty bars whipped up and ready to eat! MMmmmmm! Now I’m craving one of these! I love crumbly, fruity treats like this!

  1. Yum, these look delish! I’m such a sucker for any kind of cookies or bars with oats in them. I’m thinking this recipe would be really good with a raspberry filling too, but I\ll have to try your apricot one first. 😉
