Oatmeal Jam Crumb Bars

Dear Sis,

Today we met Carter and family at the splash pad for an afternoon of picnicking and playing. They kids had a wonderful time, they even stopped by the picnic table a few times to eat a little before returning to the important business of fun. We made these delicious bar cookies to share. They remind me of a better version of a fruit filled granola bar… only more rich and not a sweet:)

Ingredients
  1. 1 c unbleached flour
  2. 1 c old fashion oats
  3. 1/2 c dark brown sugar
  4. 1/4 t baking soda
  5. 1/4 t salt
  6. 1/2 c unsalted butter, cold
  7. 1 c jam
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350. Line a square baking pan with foil and grease it.
  2. Whisk together dry ingredients. Cut in cold butter until crumbly.
  3. Press 2 c crumb mixture into bottom of pan. Warm jam slightly in microwave to ease spreading. Spread leaving 1/2 inch along the outside edges. Top with remaining crumble and press down slightly.
  4. Bake approximately 25 minutes until jam just begins to bubble. Cool at least 15 minutes before slicing. Cool completely before storing airtight.
Notes
  1. The original recipe called for raspberry jam. We only had a half cup left in the fridge, so I also used a half cup apricot jam. Use your favorite jam or jam pairing to customize the recipe for your needs:)
