Ingredients
- 1 cup (125 g) all-purpose flour
- 1 cup (90 g) old-fashioned oats
- ½ cup (100 g) light brown sugar, packed
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- ⅛ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ cup (1 stick / 113 g) unsalted butter, melted
- ¾ cup (240 g) strawberry jam
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving a little overhang on the sides for easy removal.
- In a medium mixing bowl, stir together the flour, oats, brown sugar, baking soda, and salt until evenly combined.
- Pour the melted butter over the oat mixture. Stir with a fork until the mixture is evenly moistened and crumbly with no dry patches remaining.
- Firmly press about two-thirds of the oat mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan to form an even crust.
- Spread the strawberry jam evenly over the crust, leaving a small border around the edges to help prevent bubbling over.
- Sprinkle the remaining oat mixture evenly over the top of the jam layer.
- Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the top is lightly golden brown and the edges are bubbly.
- Let the bars cool completely in the pan before slicing. For cleaner cuts, refrigerate the bars for 30 minutes before serving.
