Oatmeal jam bars are simple to make using your favorite jam. They are not too sweet and can be enjoyed as a dessert or eaten for breakfast.
Preheat oven to 400 F degrees. Grease 9x13 inch glass baking pan.
In a large bowl, cream butter and brown sugar together until smooth.
In a separate bowl combine flour, oats, salt, and baking powder. Add to the creamed mixture.
Press half of the mixture into the bottom of the prepared baking pan. Spread the jam over the bottom crust. Sprinkle remaining mixture over the jam layer.
Bake at 400 F degrees for 20-25 minutes or until lightly browned. Allow to cool before cutting into squares. Enjoy!

These sound really tasty, Laurel, and I'll have to give them a try :-)
I want to try these.
I always use unsalted butter when cooking. It's easy to add more salt in, if desired.
If you use salted butter, I would leave out the salt from the recipe.
