Ingredients
Cherry Bars
- 2 1/2 cups flour
- 2 1/2 cups quick oats
- 1 1/2 cups brown sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 1/2 cups butter melted
- 21 oz. can cherry pie filling
Glaze
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla
- 2 Tablespoons milk
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Prepare a 10 x 15-inch jelly roll pan by spraying with nonstick cooking spray. For easier cutting, line with parchment paper.

- Reserve 2 cups of oat mixture for the topping. Gently spread the remaining mixture in an even layer into the jelly roll pan.
- Bake for 12 minutes. Remove from oven.
- Spread pie filling over crust, and sprinkle with reserved topping.
- Bake for an additional 20-25 minutes or until topping is lightly browned.
- Prepare glaze by mixing sugar, vanilla and milk until smooth.
- Let bars cool for 10 minutes.
- Drizzle glaze over bars.
- Cut bars when completely cooled.
Notes
- Cherry Pie Filling is a pantry staple.
- Line the jelly roll pan with parchment paper that hangs over the side. After baking, pull out the paper, and the cherry pie bars are easy to cut.
- These cherry bars use quick oats, not to be confused with old fashioned rolled oats.
- We love how these make a huge pan, making them perfect for pitch-ins.
