ONE-BOWL OATMEAL JAM BARS RECIPE

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients. Preheat the oven to 350 F.
• Grease a 13 x 9 x 2-inch pan with cooking spray or softened butter and line with parchment.
• To make the crust and topping, combine the flour, oats, salt, and sugar in a large bowl and whisk until incorporated.
• Cube the cold butter and using your fingers, rub the butter into the flour mixture until the butter is crumbly and pea-sized. Alternatively, you can use a pastry blender or two butter knives.
• Add the yolk and vanilla and, using a fork, stir them into the crumbly mixture. Switch to your fingers if you feel comfortable, and continue mixing the dough until the yolk and vanilla are fully incorporated and the dough holds together when you squeeze a bit between your fingers.
• Remove 2 2/3 cups of dough and place in a medium bowl in the refrigerator. Press the remaining dough firmly and uniformly into the prepared pan.
• Evenly spread the jam over the bottom crust.
• Sprinkle the refrigerated dough over the jam, rolling it into little balls between your fingers for the ultimate crumble topping, if you so desire.
• Bake the bars for about 45 minutes, rotating the pan at the halfway mark, until the oat crumb topping is lightly browned.
• Let cool to room temperature before slicing and serving. Recipe Tips:
