Total time: 47 mins
Ingredients
  • ¾ cup (155 g) organic brown sugar
  • 1½ cup (150 g) old fashioned oats
  • 1½ cup (180 g) organic flour
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup (170 g) cold unsalted organic butter, cut into very small pieces
  • 1 cup (290 g) Huckleberry jam
Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350 F, I use Convection. Grease a 9x13" baking pan with butter or cooking spray. Set aside.
  2. In a bigger bowl mix all the dry ingredients (except the butter) very well.
  3. Add the butter and mix it in with your fingers until the dough gets crumbly and all the butter is worked in very nicely.
  4. Set ⅓ cup of streusel mixture aside.
  5. Press the remaining mixture evenly into the prepared baking pan.
  6. Spread the jam evenly on top.
  7. Sprinkle the reserved streusel evenly over the jam.
  8. Bake for about 40 minutes (mine was done in 37 minutes).
  9. Let cool in the pan for about 30 minutes.
  10. Cut baked good into bars.
  11. Store in air tight container.
Notes
1. You can use any jam of your liking. I would recommend raspberry as well.
2. The bars freeze well.
3. Makes for a great lunch box snack.
