- 3 cups flour
- 2 tsps. baking powder
- ½ tsp. salt
- 3 cups rolled oats
- 2 cups brown sugar
- 1-1/2 cups butter
- 1-1/2 cups summer jam--peach, raspberry, strawberry, plum--whatever!
- Measure first four dry ingredients together and set aside.
- Cream brown sugar and butter together until soft and fluffy.
- Slowly add dry ingredients and blend until soft and crumbly.
- Pat ½ of the crumbs in a jelly roll pan.
- Press firmly or roll with a dowel or small rolling pin--like this one, my favorite little baking utensil at the moment.
- Next, carefully spread jam over the top of crust.
- Sprinkle the remaining crumbs over the jam layer until covered.
- Press the crumbs gently to set in place.
- Bake at 375 for about 35 minutes or until top is golden brown.
- Slide a knife or spatula around the edges as it cools to keep hot jam from sticking to the sides.
- Cool completely then cut into squares.
