These melt-in-your-mouth Oatmeal Bars with a buttery crumb and a sweet raspberry jam filling are always a huge hit. With common pantry staples, these bars are quick and easy to prepare. I love to take these to potlucks, parties, and bake sales. Enjoy them for breakfast, dessert, or a light snack.

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups old-fashioned oats
  • 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup light brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg beaten
  • 3/4 cup butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 12 ounces jar raspberry preserves

How To Make oatmeal bars

  • Step 1
    Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 7×11-inch baking dish with butter or shortening.
  • Step 2
    In a large bowl, whisk together the rolled oats, flour, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  • Step 3
    Stir in the egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Split the mixture and pat half of it into the prepared baking dish.
  • Step 4
    Warm the raspberry jam in a saucepan over low heat. Using an offset spatula, spread the jam over the oatmeal mixture.
  • Step 5
    Crumble the rest of the oatmeal mixture over the raspberry jam. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until lightly browned.
  • Step 6
    For best results, let the bars fully cool before slicing
