Strawberry Oatmeal Bars

For dessert last night I made strawberry oatmeal bars. They are a family favorite, and so easy to make! This is a Pioneer Woman recipe, so I have to give credit to Ree.

Ingredients
1 and 3/4 stick Cold Butter, Cut Into Pieces
1 and 1/2 cups All Purpose Flour
1 and 1/2 cups Quick Oats *I have used regular rolled oats too.
1 cup Brown Sugar
1 tsp. Baking Powder
1/4 tsp. Salt
1 jar (10 or 12 Ounce) Strawberry Jam *You can use any flavor jam or preserves that you like.

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 9 x 13 baking dish. Mix together the flour, oats, sugar, baking powder, salt and butter. Cut in the butter with a pastry cutter, until mixture looks like coarse crumbs. Sprinkle half the mixture into baking dish, and lightly pat down. Top with strawberry jam, and carefully spread evenly over surface. Top with remaining oat mixture, and gently pat down again. Bake for 40 minutes, or until lightly browned. Cool completely, and cut into squares.
