Jam bars

We had bought something like this at Whole Foods a while back and they stopped carrying it, so I had to figure something out, thus THIS recipe! It's super easy and yummy, for breakfast or dessert.

1 cup flour

1 cup oats

1/2 cup butter

1/3 cup brown sugar

1/4 teaspoon baking powder

1/8 teaspoon salt*

3/4 cup jam (I like raspberry!)

Preheat oven to 350.
In a large bowl combine the flour, oats, butter, baking powder, salt (*omit if using salted butter) and brown sugar. I use my hands to completely mix it up.

Oil pan with olive oil (or oil of choice). Put 2 cups of the mixture into the bottom of the pan and press it down.

Pour jam on top, spreading it evenly.

Take the rest of the mixture and put on top, pressing down slightly.

Put it in the oven for 25 minutes. Cool for at least 15 minutes before eating.
