Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 0.75 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.75 cup unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 cup strawberry jam
- 0.5 cup walnuts (chopped)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8 inch square baking pan with parchment paper, ensuring there is a slight overhang for easy removal.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to evenly distribute the ingredients.
Step 3
Pour the melted butter and vanilla extract into the dry ingredients. Stir until the mixture forms a crumbly but cohesive dough.
Step 4
Reserve about 3/4 cup of the dough for the topping, and press the remaining dough evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan to form the crust.
Step 5
Spread the strawberry jam evenly over the crust layer. Make sure to leave about a 1/4-inch gap from the edges to prevent the jam from sticking to the pan.
Step 6
Mix the reserved dough with the chopped walnuts, then sprinkle this mixture evenly over the jam layer to create the crumble topping.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 28-32 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the jam is bubbling slightly.
Step 8
Remove the pan from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack. Once cooled, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the bars out of the pan.
Step 9
Cut into 12 bars and serve. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for longer storage.
