Ingredients

  • 1 cup white whole wheat flour
  • ½ cup almond flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup Coconut oil or butter
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1 cup jam

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 350 F.
  2. Combine flours, baking powder, sugar and salt, then mix well.
  3. Melt coconut oil or butter then mix into the flour mixture.
  4. Put the rolled oats in a 2nd bowl. Remove 2/3 cup (do not pack it) of the flour mixture and add it to the rolled oats. Using your fingertips, mix until it starts to clump. It will look dry at first but then come together. The flour mixture with the oatmeal is your topping and the mixture without the oatmeal is your crust dough.
  5. Spray an 8 x 8 or 9 x 9 baking pan with non-stick spray, then line with parchment. Press in the crust dough, using a flat bottomed glass at the end.
  6. Top the dough with jam. If the jam is too thick it can be heated before spreading
  7. Sprinkle the oatmeal mixture over the jam.
  8. Bake for 25-35 minutes until golden and bubbly on edges.
  9. Remove the pan to a rack and let the bars cool completely before removing and cutting. If the bars stick on the sides without parchment, slide a thin knife along the edge to release.
