How to Make Chunky Chocolate Jam Bars

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Line a 13x9 inch baking pan with aluminum foil, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy lifting.
  3. Lightly grease the foil with nonstick cooking spray.
  4. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, ¾ cup packed light brown sugar, and 1 teaspoon baking powder.
  5. Cut in 1 cup (2 sticks) cold unsalted butter using a pastry blender or two knives until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  6. Stir in 1 cup rolled oats, ½ cup shredded coconut, and ½ cup chopped pecans.
  7. Press half of the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan.
  8. Sprinkle evenly with 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips.
  9. Spread 1 cup raspberry or strawberry jam evenly over the chocolate layer.
  10. Crumble the remaining crumb mixture over the jam layer.
  11. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is lightly golden brown and the bars are set.
  12. Let the bars cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Use the foil overhang to lift them out.
  13. Once cooled, cut into bars and enjoy!
