STRAWBERRY OATMEAL JAM BARS

Steps:

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 9 x 13 or 8 x 10 baking dish. Mix together the flour, oats, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt. Cut in the butter with a pastry cutter until it resembles coarse crumbs. Sprinkle half the mixture into the pan and pat lightly to pack it a little tight. Spoon strawberry preserves evenly over the surface, then use a dinner knife to carefully spread it around. Sprinkle the other half of the oat mixture over the top and pat lightly again. Bake until light golden brown on top, about 35 to 40 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool in pan. When cool, cut into squares and serve. Yum!

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 350˚ F. Spray the bottom of a 7" x 9" or 8" x 8" baking pan with nonstick cooking spray.
• In a large mixing bowl, combine the oats, almond flour, brown sugar, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix it well.
• Add the butter and stir until all of the ingredients are coated.
• Pour 2/3 of the mixture into the pan. With the back of a spoon, press the mixture until it is firm. This is the bottom crust of the bars If the mixture sticks to the spoon, spray the back of the spoon with nonstick spray. Or you can use your hands, but spray them first or dampen them with cold water so the mixture doesn't stick to your hands.
• Put the preserves in a microwave safe bowl and heat it on high for about 30 seconds or until it is slightly melted and runny.
• Pour the preserves over the bottom crust in the baking pan.
• Pour the remaining oatmeal mixture over the jam. Gently press it down with damp fingertips.
• Bake for 30 minutes. Cool on the countertop for about 15 minutes. Then put it in the refrigerator and allow it to cool for at least an hour before cutting it into either squares or rectangles.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F.
• In a large bowl, mix everything together but the jam.
• Measure out 2 cups of this mixture. Leave the rest in the bowl and set aside.
• Take the 2 cups of the mixture and press it into the bottom of an 8 inches square pan, coated with cooking spray. Using a large spoon, distribute jam on top of the mixture in the pan. Spread it evenly all over. (I used the squeeze-bottle spread for this and it made this part of the process a lot quicker).
• Take the remaining mixture and spread it over the jam. Press down lightly.
• Bake 25 minutes.
• Remove the pan from the oven and allow to cool for at least 15 minutes before cutting into bars.
