Report

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a 9x13 baking dish with parchment paper or spray with non-stick spray.
- In a medium bowl, combine the flour, oats, sugar, brown sugar, and baking powder. Mix well.
- In a small bowl combine the melted butter and vanilla, and mix into the flour sugar mixture until the consistency is crumbly. Reserve 1 1/2 cups of the oat mixture and set aside.
- Press the remaining mixture into the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
- Gently spread the jam over the crust, being careful not to break the crust as you spread.
- Sprinkle the reserved oat mixture over the top of the jam.
- Bake uncovered for 30 minutes or until the top is golden brown.
- Let bars cool completely before preparing the glaze.
- To make the glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth. Drizzle over the bars.
Notes
- You may use any variety of jam you like in these bars.
- The glaze does add a fair amount of sweetness to these bars - skip it if you'd like to cut the sugar back a bit.
