Scrumptious Raspberry Chocolate Oat Bars

I was the hit of the campsite when I made these scrumptious raspberry chocolate oat bars to share. Normally I don’t bake while camping but for some reason I decided to throw in my baking supplies for this trip. After a morning at the beach, I wanted something sweet. Hmmm….what to make? Looking around at my limited ingredients and a quick trip around Google led me to adapt a recipe to make these. I’m pretty sure Evan and Dewey will be requesting them again soon.

Chocolate, raspberry and oats make these cookie bars unable to resist. 

Ingredients

  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 cups whole wheat flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 2 cups quick oats
  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • 1 1/4 cup seedless raspberry jam
  • 3/4 cup semi sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Line a 9 X 13 baking dish with aluminum foil and spray it with cooking spray.
  3. In a large bowl, mix the brown sugar, flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and quick oats.
  4. Cut butter into the oat mixture using either a fork or two knives.
  5. Press 4 cups of the oat mixture in to the prepared pan.
  6. Top with the raspberry jam and sprinkle with chocolate chips.
  7. Sprinkle with remaining oat mixture and gently press down in to the raspberry jam.
  8. Bake for 45 - 55 minutes or until light brown.
  9. Let cool before cutting in to squares.

Notes

While the recipe calls for seedless raspberry jam, I think seeded jam or another flavor would work just as well.

I think I am going to try this using some of the fresh raspberries we have in our garden. I tried another recipe that called for jam, but found that mashing the raspberries with a bit of sugar worked just as well. Won't be seedless though!

Mmmmm these sound delicious. I'd want to make them with my homemade jam, but it would be hard to give up that much of it.
