How to Make Oatmeal And Jam Bars

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened margarine and 1 ½ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add 2 large eggs and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract; mix well.
  4. In a separate bowl, combine 3 cups rolled oats, 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Press ¾ of the dough into the bottom of the prepared pan.
  7. Spread 1 cup of your favorite jam evenly over the pressed dough.
  8. Crumble the remaining dough evenly over the jam layer.
  9. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until golden brown. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out with a few moist crumbs attached.
  10. Let the bars cool completely in the pan before cutting into 2-inch squares.
