Jam Oat Bars Recipe
A delicious easy fall dessert.
Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups flour (half whole wheat flour and half white flour)
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 3/4 cup cold butter, cut into pieces
- 2 cups oats
- 1 cup berry jam of your choice (I used blackberry and apricot)
Directions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F.
- In a mixing bowl pour in the flours, brown sugar, salt, and cinnamon and do a quick mix.
- Cut the butter into thin slices and add into the bowl. With a mixer on medium, mix until it starts to form a more solid dough. Pour in the oats and kneed them in with your hands until all the oats have found a home in the dough.
- Take 1/3 cup of oat mixture and set them to the side. Grease a 13x9 inch pan. Place the remainder of the dough into the pan and smash it flat until it is even across the base. Next layer in the jam. Finally take the 1/3 cup of oats that were set aside and sprinkle them over top.
- Put the pan in the oven for about 25 minutes until the top of the oats start to turn a golden brown color. Pull them out and allow them to cool. Can be stored in a container out on the counter or in the refrigerator.
