Ingredients:
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup strawberry jam
- 1 cup old-fashioned oats
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- Optional: powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add in the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and baking powder.
- Gradually combine the dry mixture with the wet mixture, stirring until you have a soft dough.
- Stir in the oats until evenly incorporated.
- Press half of the dough into the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Spread the strawberry jam over the top, making sure to cover it evenly.
- Take the remaining dough and crumble it over the jam layer. Don’t worry if some of the jam peeks through—that’s just part of the charm!
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes, or until the top is lightly golden brown.
- Once baked, let cool in the pan before slicing into bars. Dust with powdered sugar if you like!
