Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 box (15.25 oz) yellow cake mix
- 2 cups quick-cooking oats
- 0.75 cup unsalted butter
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 21 oz (1 can) cherry pie filling
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, quick-cooking oats, and melted butter. Stir to form a crumbly mixture.
Add the egg and vanilla extract into the mixture and stir until well combined but still crumbly.
Reserve 1 cup of the mixture for the topping. Press the remaining mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan to form the crust.
Spread the cherry pie filling evenly over the crust.
Crumble the reserved topping mixture evenly over the cherry filling.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown.
Let the bars cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before slicing into squares.
Serve and enjoy your Cherry Oat Bars!
