Oatmeal Jam Bars
I always have the ingredients on hand to make these. Plus, they are "healthy" because they have oatmeal!

Directions
Preheat the oven to 350℉ (180℃).
In a large mixing bowl, mix thoroughly oatmeal, flour, brown sugar, and salt.
Rub the butter into the mixture with your finger tips until a coarse meal forms.
Spread half of the mixture in a greased 9 x 9 x 2 inch pan.
Spread strawberry or raspberry jam on top.
Sprinkle the remaining dough on top of the jam and lightly pat down with fingers.
Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until lightly brown.
Cut into bars when warm--they will firm up as they cool.

These bars look delicious! I love these kind of jam bars too, it's an excellent way to use up some of the fruit jams. I usually have them for breakfast or snack. Happy Baking :-)
