Strawberry Jam Oatmeal Bars


"Grandma" brought these over for us...a favorite neighbor of ours...and I thought it was a passed down speciality recipe - turns out she found it online and e-mailed it over for me =)
This takes about 10 minutes to put together and they taste really good...if you are looking for a last of summer treat - this is a good one!


Strawberry Jam Oatmeal Bars

Ingredients:

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

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven 375 degrees, and in a large bowl mix everything together but the jam.
  2. Measure two cups of the mixture and press into the bottom of an 8 inch square baking dish coated with cooking spray. Using a large spoon, distribute jam evenly over the mixture in the dish.
  3. Take remaining mixture and sprinkle on top of the jam and press down lightly.
