Step 1

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8-inch (20x20 cm) baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal. 2. Prepare the Oat Base and Crumble: In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, flour, salt, baking powder and salt. 3. Pour in the melted butter (or coconut oil), honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract. Mix well until everything is evenly combined and forms a crumbly texture. 4. Reserve 1/3 of this mixture for the topping. Press the remaining mixture firmly into the prepared baking pan to form the base. 5. Spread the sugar-free jam evenly over the pressed oat base. If using fresh or frozen berries, mix them with the jam before spreading for added flavor and texture. 6. Sprinkle the reserved oat mixture evenly over the jam layer. 7. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the edges are bubbling slightly. 8. Remove from the oven and let the bars cool completely in the pan to allow the jam layer to set. 9. Once cool, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the bars out of the pan. Slice into squares or rectangles.
