Ingredients

Raspberry Oatmeal Bars

1 ½ cups (3 sticks) unsalted butter softened
2 cups packed brown sugar
3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 (18-ounce) jar raspberry jam Smucker's or your favorite brand

Instructions

Raspberry Oatmeal Bars

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper and spray well with cooking spray. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and brown sugar until smooth.
Add the vanilla extract, rolled oats, flour, salt, and baking powder and stir to combine. Scrape the bottom and sides of the bowl occasionally with a rubber spatula.
Press ¾ of the oatmeal mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan.
Spread the jam over the bottom layer.
Crumble the remaining oatmeal mixture over the raspberry jam layer.
Bake for about 45-50 minutes, or until lightly golden brown and the jam is bubbling. Cool completely before cutting into bars.

Notes

Raspberry Oatmeal Bars will last for several days, even a week if stored in an airtight container. Store in a cool place or in the refrigerator during hot summer months.
