Strawberry Oatmeal Bars

Total Time: 45 mins Preparation Time: 20 mins Cook Time: 25 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 8
• 1 cup flour
• 1 cup rolled oats
• 1/2 cup butter, softened
• 1/3 cup light brown sugar, firmly packed
• 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• 3/4 cup strawberry jam

Recipe

• 1 Preheat oven to 375°F.
• 2 In a large bowl, mix everything together but the jam.
• 3 Measure out 2 cups of this mixture. Leave the rest in the bowl and set aside.
• 4 Take the 2 cups of the mixture and press it into the bottom of an 8 inches square pan, coated with cooking spray. Using a large spoon, distribute jam on top of the mixture in the pan. Spread it evenly all over. (I used the squeeze-bottle spread for this and it made this part of the process a lot quicker).
• 5 Take the remaining mixture and spread it over the jam. Press down lightly.
• 6 Bake 25 minutes.
• 7 Remove the pan from the oven and allow to cool for at least 15 minutes before cutting into bars.
