♥ In a large bowl, mix together the oats, cake mix and the butter, so that is makes nice clumps and there is no dry mix left.
♥ Press half of the oats/cake mixture evenly into the bottom of the pan, pressing them into the corners.
♥ In a separate bowl mix the water and the jam together.
♥ Spread the jam mixture evenly over the crust.
♥ Sprinkle the remaining oats/cake mixture of the top,
pressing down slightly.
♥ Bake in the middle of the oven for 18 to 23 minutes, or until the top is lightly browned.
♥ Cool before cutting into the bars.

Footnote:
I used a strawberry spread instead of a jam,
no need to use the water to thin it out.
Substitute lemon juice for the water.
Substitute raspberry for strawberry.
Substitute a lemon cake mix.
Drizzle powdered sugar or melted chocolate on the top.
I cut the bars out with a heart shaped cookie cutter.
I would also consider using parchment paper.
