Raspberry Oat Bars Made Lighter
Equipment
- 8-inch Baking Pan
- KitchenAid Mixer
- Silicone Spatula
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated no calorie sweetener (or 6 packets) (such as Splenda)
- 1/2 cup low calorie margarine or butter, softened
- 1 cup sugar-free raspberry jam (or your favorite flavor)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325F degrees. Lightly spray an 8-inch square baking pan with non-stick baking spray. Or for easy removal and cleanup, line with parchment paper or aluminum foil (My preferred method).
- In a medium bowl, with an electric mixer on low speed, combine the first 7 ingredients (oats through margarine), until the mixture starts to come together. Increase the speed to medium and continue mixing until the mixture forms coarse crumbs and the margarine is completely mixed in.
- Press two-thirds of the crumb mixture into the prepared pan firmly and evenly.
- Spread the jam onto the crust, leaving 1/4-inch margin around the edges. Sprinkle the rest of the oat mixture evenly on top of the jam.
- Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.
- Cool in the pan on a wire rack.
- Cut into 15 bars.
Notes
If you are not a fan of raspberry, substitute whatever flavor jam you prefer – peach, apricot, strawberry, blueberry or orange marmalade would all be delicious.
