Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9x9-inch (23x23 cm) baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
In a large bowl, beat the unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until creamy and smooth, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and mix until fully combined.
In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined.
Stir in the rolled oats, making sure they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Press two-thirds of the oatmeal cookie dough evenly into the prepared pan, creating a flat base layer.
Spread the raspberry jam over the base layer, ensuring it is evenly distributed.
Scatter the fresh raspberries on top of the jam layer for bursts of fruity goodness.
Crumble the remaining cookie dough over the raspberry layer, leaving small gaps to let the jam peek through.
Sprinkle the sliced almonds over the top for added crunch and flavor.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and set.
Remove the pan from the oven and let the bars cool completely in the pan before lifting them out using the parchment overhang.
Slice into 12 bars and serve. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
