Strawberry Oatmeal Flax Bars

These are fantastic with the homemade jam I make.  The kids love them for breakfast or a quick snack.  Super easy too!

2 sticks of cold butter
1 1/2 cups of flour
1/2 cup of brown sugar
1/4 cup flax seed
1/4 cup of coconut, if desired
1/2 cup of oats
1 tsp cinnamon or nutmeg
1-2 cups of strawberry preserves or jam (or whatever you like!)

Combine the dry ingredients and cut in your cold butter using a pastry blender or forks.  Press the mixture into a 13x9 inch pan.  Reserve some of the crumble for the top.  Spoon over the bottom layer and spread evenly.  Use the rest of the crumble mixture for the top by gently pressing it into the jam.  Bake at 350 for 25-35 minutes.  Let cool completely before cutting into squares.
