Recently, I felt the urge to bake for my peeps at work...wanted to make a quick bread using a cake or muffin mix but didn't find a recipe I liked. So, used Jiffy Raspberry muffin mix, and made the Raspberry Bars recipe from the box -- Very easy!
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
1 box Jiffy Raspberry muffin mix
1/4 c. quick oats
1/4 c. chopped nuts (or omit, and use more oats)
5 Tbs. soft butter
Mix until crumbly. Set aside 1/4 cup of mixture and press remaining into an greased 8 inch square baking dish. Top with 1/2 c. raspberry preserves/jam (I used Bonne Maman cherry preserves), leaving a 1/2 inch border all around. Sprinkle with reserved mixture and bake for 20-25 minutes.
I'm certain these would be fabulous when warm but were damn good at room temp the next morning at work!
