Provided by Foodiewife

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 1/2 cup flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoons salt
1 1/2 cup oats
1 cup packed brown sugar
1 3/4 stick salted butter, cut into pieces
1 jar (10 to 12 ounce) raspberry preserves (or apricot preserves)

Steps:

The easiest way to make this is with a food processor: Pulse together the flour, baking powder, salt, and brown sugar with the butter, until it just comes to together. Dump into a large bowl and add the oats. Combine together with fingers until combined. Press one half of the mixture into a buttered 8" square (or small rectangular) pan. TIP: I line my pan with a parchment paper (or foil) "sling" for easy removal. Spread with a 10 to 12 ounce jar of raspberry preserves (or jam of your choice) Sprinkle second half of mixture over the top and pat lightly. Bake at 350°F for 30 to 40 minutes or until light brown. Let cool completely, then cut into squares.
