Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups all purpose flour
- 1 ½ cups old fashioned oats or quick oats
- ¾ cup brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ cup butter softened
- 1 large egg
- 18 ounces peach preserves
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°.
- In a large bowl, stir together flour, oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, baking powder, and kosher salt.
- Mix in softened butter and egg until well combined and crumbly. The mixture should hold together when pressed.
- Reserve about 1 1/2 cups of the mixture for topping. Press the remaining mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan to form the crust.
- Evenly spread peach preserves over the crust layer.
- Sprinkle the reserved oat mixture over the top and gently press it down.
- Bake for 30–35 minutes, until the top is golden brown and the edges are set.
- Cool completely before slicing into bars for clean cuts, or serve warm with vanilla ice cream.
Notes
- Substitute preserves: Apricot or raspberry work just as well
- Add crunch: A handful of chopped nuts in the topping adds texture
- Make it ahead: These bars store well for a few days—perfect for prepping in advance. Cover with plastic wrap and store at room temperature.
