Oat bars with rhubarb ginger jam from Health Nut: A Feel-Good Cookbook (page 252) by Jess Damuck

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    Can substitute vegan butter for unsalted butter, and gluten-free flour for all-purpose flour.

    So I wish I had seen these comments before making! This recipe had all kinds of errors and I did my best to salvage it but what a mess!

    This recipe is rife with errors. But I found a published correction: https://ugc.production.linktr.ee/cc3a67bc-2799-4261-ad70-253de2ad563f_digitalOatBarsRecipe.pdf I'd give it 1 start as published, but the bars are actually pretty tasty. With the correction a 4+

    Do not make this recipe if cooking from a first edition. Hopefully future editions will fix this recipe, which was not ready for print imo. Numerous glaring errors along the way but I thought I could make it work, and it failed. Errors: (1) Calls for 2 stalks of rhubarb but needs 5. (2) Lists 1 pint sliced strawberries and 1 vanilla bean presumably for the jam, but doesn't incorporate them. (3) produces over 2 cups jam when it says you'll get 1.5, (4) Calls for flour and kosher salt (twice), and never uses them in the recipe. (5) Has you make a food processor crust and use half of it for a press-in base, then (6) never tells you how to use the other half! It's like the recipe was first a crisp and then became an oat bar. Or vice versa. I went with the "oat bar" as in the title and photo, and it just baked up on top as buttery brown sludge even with extra 20 minutes in the oven. So (7) the bake times are way, way, way off, and I suspect 325F is too low anyway.
