New York Times bestselling author John Kanell shares a recipe from his new cookbook, Preppy Kitchen Super Easy: 100 Simple and Versatile Recipes

"These bars are the perfect grab and-go snack," John Kanell, the founder of Preppy Kitchen, says. "Layers of crunchy, substantial oats with just the right amount of brown sugar and blueberry filling. The best part? You can use any flavor of jam and a variety of fresh fruits to mix things up!" The cooking and baking expert suggests trying these variations: raspberry jam and chopped pecans; orange marmalade and diced figs; guava preserves and chopped strawberries.
