Ingredients

• 170 grams unsalted butter, melted
• 150 grams granulated sugar
• 50 grams brown sugar, packed
• 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
• 250 grams all-purpose flour
• 100 grams rolled oats
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 300 grams blackberry jam

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9x9-inch (23x23 cm) baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until well combined. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, rolled oats, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet mixture, stirring until a crumbly dough forms.

Step 4

Press approximately two-thirds of the dough evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan to form the crust.

Step 5

Spread the blackberry jam evenly over the crust, leaving a small border around the edges to prevent the jam from sticking to the pan.

Step 6

Crumble the remaining dough mixture over the blackberry jam layer to create a streusel topping.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the jam is bubbling around the edges.

Step 8

Remove the pan from the oven and allow it to cool completely on a wire rack. Once cooled, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the bars out of the pan.

Step 9

Cut into 16 squares and serve. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
