Raspberry Oaties

Ingredients

• 1 3/4  cups  all-purpose flour
• 1  cup brown sugar, firmly packed
• 1  teaspoon  salt
• 1/2  teaspoon  baking soda
• 3/4  cup  unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
• 1 1/2  cups oats
• 3/4 cup chopped walnuts
• 1 1/2  cups  raspberry jam, (microwave at 30-40% power for 45 seconds to thin)

Preparation

Heat oven to 350° F. Place the flour, sugar, salt, baking soda, and butter in the bowl of a food processor and pulse several times until the ingredients are combined and a crumbly dough is formed. Add the oats and nuts and pulse quickly twice to combine. Press 2/3 of the dough firmly into a greased 9-by-13-inch pan. Spread the jam evenly over the crust. Sprinkle the remaining dough over the jam, gently pressing down. Bake until golden brown, about 30 minutes. Cool completely, about 2 hours. Cut into 24 bars.
