Instructions
Raspberry Oatmeal Bars
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan. 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.
