Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 170 grams unsalted butter, melted
- 150 grams granulated sugar
- 50 grams brown sugar, packed
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 250 grams all-purpose flour
- 100 grams rolled oats
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 300 grams blackberry jam
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9x9-inch (23x23 cm) baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until well combined. Stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, rolled oats, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet mixture, stirring until a crumbly dough forms.
Press approximately two-thirds of the dough evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan to form the crust.
Spread the blackberry jam evenly over the crust, leaving a small border around the edges to prevent the jam from sticking to the pan.
Crumble the remaining dough mixture over the blackberry jam layer to create a streusel topping.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the jam is bubbling around the edges.
Remove the pan from the oven and allow it to cool completely on a wire rack. Once cooled, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the bars out of the pan.
Cut into 16 squares and serve. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
