Easy Oatmeal Blueberry Jam Bars
These buttery Oatmeal Blueberry Jam Bars are extremely easy to make and a great pack and go snack or treat that everyone will enjoy.
- 10 tbsp unsalted butter (melted & cooled to room temperature)
- 2/3 cup light brown sugar (lightly packed)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup white, all purpose flour
- 1 cup old-fashioned oats (not quick oats)
- 1/4 tsp sea salt
- 3/4 tsp baking soda
- 3/4 cup Michigan Blueberry Jam
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line an 8x8-inch pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhand for easy removal. Melt the butter and let it cool slightly to avoid greasy bars.
Wet Ingredients: Wisk melted and cooled butter, brown sugar, and vanilla extract until fully integrated; it will seem like they won't, keep whisking until completely integrated.
Dry Ingredients: Combine flour, oats, salt, and baking soda. Combine wet and dry ingredients into a thick dough using a wooden spoon or spatula.
Press just over half into pan in an even layer. Bake for 8 minutes and remove.
Spread Michigan Blueberry Jam over the base, avoiding the edges to prevent burning. Gently layer without pressing into the base. Sprinkle remaining oat mixture on top without pressing down.
Place back in the oven and bake for 13-18 minutes until the top is lightly golden. Cool at room temperature on a wire rack for at least 2 hours before cutting; they will firm as they cool.
