Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups old-fashioned oats
- 1 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup raspberry jam
- 1/2 cup sliced almonds
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×9-inch baking pan and line it with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, oats, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the cold, cubed butter and use your fingers to mix until you have a crumbly mixture.
- Press two-thirds of the crumb mixture into the bottom of the prepared baking pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until lightly golden.
- Spread raspberry jam evenly over the baked crust. Sprinkle the remaining crumb mixture and sliced almonds over the jam layer.
- Bake for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown. Allow to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before cutting into bars.
