Jam Bars

A super simple bar where the delicious crust is also the topping!
Author Sarah Mir

Ingredients

  • 250 ml your favourite jam (a little less is ok too!)
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1 cup flour (can use WW Pastry Flour)
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp sugar (optional, but recommended if your jam isn't super sweet)
  • ½ cup melted butter

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350F and line a square tin with parchment paper (for easy removal!)
  • Combine the dry ingredients together and then gently mix in the melted butter. If you are using sugar stir it in here too.
  • Pat two-third of the mix into the bottom of the pan
  • Spread the jam over it
  • Scatter the remaining crumble over top
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes, the crumble should be nice and golden. 
  • Let cool in tin for 5 mintues. Then lift the parchment paper and bars onto a wire rock to cool. Cut into desired shapes

Notes

  • for a fun twist you can add a little citrus zest (½ tbsp) into the crumb mix to compliment the jam you are using. So lemon for strawberry, orange for blueberry etc.
