Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup 125 g unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar about 100 g
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour about 180 g
  • 1 1/2 cups rolled oats about 135 g
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder about 2 g
  • Pinch of salt about 1/8 tsp
  • 1 cup raspberry jam about 320 g

Equipment

  • 8-inch square baking pan
  • Parchment paper
  • Large mixing bowl
  • Wooden spoon or spatula
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Offset spatula or spoon (for spreading jam)
  • Knife for slicing

Method
 

  1. Heat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8-inch square pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang.
  2. In a large bowl, stir melted butter and brown sugar until combined. Add egg and mix until smooth.
  3. Add flour, rolled oats, baking powder, and salt. Stir until a thick, crumbly dough forms.
  4. Press about two-thirds of the dough firmly into the prepared pan to form an even base.
  5. Spread raspberry jam evenly over the base.
  6. Crumble remaining dough over the jam in small pieces.
  7. Bake 25–30 minutes, until lightly golden and the jam looks set.
  8. Cool completely (at least 1 hour). Lift out using parchment and slice into bars.

Notes

  • For the cleanest slices, chill the cooled slab 20–30 minutes before cutting.
  • If using salted butter, skip the pinch of salt.
  • Quick oats work, but rolled oats give a better chewy texture.
  • Thick jam or preserves sets best and looks cleaner when sliced.
