JAM FILLED OATMEAL BARS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Line an 8x8 pan with foil or parchment paper (leaving overhang on two sides for easy removal). Spray with nonstick spray.
• In a medium bowl, combine, flour, oats, salt and baking soda.
• In a large bowl, whisk butter, brown sugar and vanilla until well combined (this will take at least one full minute). Add dry ingredients and stir with a rubber spatula or wooden spoon until combined.
• Pull out about 3/4 cup (a little less than half) of the cookie dough and set that portion aside (it will be the topping). Dump the remaining dough into the prepared pan and press it down into a flat even layer. Bake for 10 minutes.
• Remove from the oven and carefully spread the jam on top of the cookie base. Take the reserved cookie dough and crumble it over the top of the jam layer. Return to the oven and bake for 14-16 more minutes, until the topping is light golden brown. Place the pan on a wire rack to cool. These bars are soft when they are warm (they likely won't hold together). To firm them up they can be stored at cool temp or refrigerated.

Sprinkle the other half of the oat mixture over the top and pat lightly. Bake until light brown, 30 to 40 minutes. Let cool completely, and then cut into squares.

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:
