Indulge in the sweet-tart perfection of Lingonberry Bars, a delightful dessert that balances buttery crumble with the vibrant tang of lingonberry jam. Featuring a golden oat crust and a rich crumb topping sweetened with a touch of brown sugar, these bars are as irresistible as they are easy to make. With just 20 minutes of prep time and a few pantry staples like rolled oats, vanilla, and flour, this recipe transforms a simple jam into a show-stopping treat. Perfect for brunches, coffee breaks, or holiday gatherings, these lingonberry bars are cut into 12 satisfying portions, ready to brighten your table with their unique Scandinavian-inspired flavors.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease or line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, granulated sugar, salt, and baking powder.
Cut the cold butter into small cubes and add it to the bowl. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Add the vanilla extract and rolled oats, then mix until evenly distributed.
Take 2/3 of the crumb mixture and press it firmly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan to create the crust.
Spread the lingonberry jam evenly over the crust using a spatula or the back of a spoon.
Add the brown sugar to the remaining crumb mixture and sprinkle it over the jam layer, covering it completely.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown.
Remove the bars from the oven and let them cool completely in the pan before slicing into 12 equal pieces.
Serve and enjoy your homemade Lingonberry Bars!
