I will be collecting healthy recipes from family and friends. Hopefully, one day soon I will have some members join me in collecting great recipes! My focus right now is on finding mind healthy foods that help fight depression. If you have a recipe to add feel free to list it in the comments section. Always under construction, so any ideas you have for my blog, feel free to drop me a line in comments.
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a 9x13 inch pan.
In a large bowl, mix together oats, cake mix, and melted margarine so that it makes nice clumps and there is no dry mix left. Press 1/2 of the oats mixture evenly into the bottom the prepared pan. In a separate bowl, mix jam with water, and spread over the crust. Sprinkle the remaining oat mixture evenly over the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18 to 23 minutes, or until the top is lightly browned. Cool before cutting into bars.
Combine oat cereal, corn flake cereal, and peanuts together in a large bowl.
Mix brown sugar, corn syrup, and butter together in a saucepan; bring to a boil. Remove from heat and stir in peanut butter and vanilla extract until smooth. Pour peanut butter mixture over cereal mixture; stir to coat. Press coated cereal mixture into a 9x13-inch casserole dish. Refrigerate until set, at least 1 hour. Cut into squares.
