Ingredients




1 1/4 cups all purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon of baking Soda
1/4 teaspoon salt ( I used ½ tsp. )
1 stick of butter at room temp.
1 egg
1 cup of light brown sugar
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract ( I used ½ tsp. of almond )
2 cups of old fashioned rolled oats divided
1 cup of raspberry jam ( I used the Smuckers low sugar. You can really taste the 





Preparation

1 Preheat the oven to 350F. Grease or spray a 9x9 inch square pan. 2 In a medium bowl, Whisk together the flour, baking Soda, and salt. Set aside. 3 In a large bowl, Beat the butter and sugar together at medium speed until light and fluffy (2-3 minutes ). 4 Add the vanilla and egg and continue to beat until well blended. 5 Slowly add the flour mixture and mix till everything is combined. 6 The dough will be very thick. 7 With a large wooden spoon, stir in 1 3/4 cups of the oatmeal. I used my hands to make sure the oats were really incorporated into the dough. 8 Press about 2/3 of the dough into prepared pan. 9 Spread the jam over the base. Try not to get too close to the edges of the pan or else it will burn. 10 Add the remaining 1/4 cup of oats to the dough in the bowl and mix well. Crumble the mixture over the jam. Bake for 25-30 minutes or when the oats begin to turn a deeper shade of gold. 11 Remove from oven and cool completely before serving. 12 These are even better when they are cold
