Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
- Stir in the vanilla extract until well combined.
- In another bowl, mix together the flour, rolled oats, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture until just combined—be careful not to overmix!
- Press half of the dough into the bottom of a greased 9×9-inch baking dish.
- Spread the raspberry jam over the dough, ensuring it’s evenly distributed.
- Crumble the remaining dough over the jam filling, creating a beautiful topping.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the edges are crisp.
- Allow to cool completely before cutting into squares and serving.
Notes
For added flavor, try incorporating a pinch of cinnamon into the dry ingredients. Avoid using cold butter for the best texture.
