Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1.5 cups brown sugar, packed
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 3 cups rolled oats
- 1.5 cups cherry preserves
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Beat with a hand mixer or stand mixer until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing just until combined. Avoid overmixing.
Stir in the rolled oats by hand until evenly distributed. The dough will be thick.
Press two-thirds of the dough evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan to form the base layer.
Spread the cherry preserves over the dough base, leaving a small border around the edges to prevent the preserves from sticking to the sides of the pan.
Crumble the remaining dough over the cherry layer, allowing some of the preserves to peek through for a rustic look.
Bake in the preheated oven for 28-32 minutes, or until the top is lightly golden and set.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Once cooled, cut into bars.
Serve and enjoy! Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
