  I'm sure we all have favorite recipes, so I thought we might share them here.  Who knows, maybe we could make a ULC cookbook!

   

  Here is one to start us off.  My grandmother would bake me a batch of these each week while in college.

   

  Apricot Oatmeal Squares

  Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup quick-cooking oats
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 cup cold butter, cubed
  • 3/4 cup apricot preserves

  Directions

  • In a large bowl, combine the flour, oats, brown sugar, salt and baking soda. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Press half of the mixture into a greased 8-in. square baking dish. Spread with preserves. Sprinkle with remaining oat mixture; gently press down.
  • Bake at 350° for 38-42 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on a wire rack. Cut into squares. Yield: 16 bars.
