Description

These Oatmeal Raspberry Bar Cookies are a delightful treat that combines the wholesome chewiness of rolled oats with the bright, fruity burst of seedless raspberry jam. The buttery oat crust provides a sturdy, crumbly base that perfectly balances the soft, sweet center. Ideal for afternoon tea, lunchbox snacks, or a quick dessert, these bars are easy to assemble and bake. They offer a comforting, homemade feel without requiring complex techniques or rare ingredients. The contrast between the golden-brown oat topping and the vibrant red jam makes them as visually appealing as they are delicious. Enjoy them warm from the oven or stored for later.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350&# 194;°F (175ðC).
  2. Grease an 8x8-inch square baking pan with butter or cooking spray, then set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and light brown sugar until smooth.
  4. Stir in the flour, baking soda, salt, and rolled oats until a uniform dough forms.
  5. Remove about half of the oat mixture and set aside for the topping.
  6. Press the remaining half of the dough firmly and evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan.
  7. Spread the seedless raspberry jam evenly over the oat crust, leaving a small border around the edges.
  8. Crumble the reserved oat mixture over the jam, distributing it evenly to cover the surface.
  9. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the jam is bubbling.
  10. Remove from the oven and let cool completely on a wire rack before cutting into bars.

Note

Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan before cutting to ensure clean edges and prevent the jam from oozing out.

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week.

For a gluten-free version, substitute the flour with a gluten-free all-purpose baking flour blend.

You can use other seedless fruit jams like strawberry or apricot for a different flavor profile.
