Delicious Apricot Oat Bars (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Crumble and Base

01 - 95 grams plain flour
02 - 125 grams old-fashioned oats
03 - 0.25 teaspoon baking soda
04 - 110 grams packed light brown sugar
05 - 115 grams unsalted butter, let it soften first

→ Fruit Layer

06 - 320 grams apricot jam

# Instructions:

01 - Once everything is cool, cut the big square into nine pieces. That’s it, go ahead and share.
02 - Crumble the last bit of oat mix on top of the jam. Slide it in the oven for 30–35 minutes. You want bubbly jam and a crisp golden top.
03 - Carefully spoon out the apricot jam and spread it all over the crust, just don’t cover the very edges.
04 - Take about two cups of your oat blend and press it real good into the bottom of the lined pan.
05 - Put butter, sugar, flour, oats, and baking soda in a bowl. Use your fingers, a fork, or a pastry thing to squish it together until you see big crumbs.
06 - Turn your oven on to 177°C. Spray a baking dish, either 20-by-20 or 23-by-23 cm, with oil so nothing sticks.

# Notes:

01 - Let the bars cool all the way for cleaner cuts. If you like other fruit flavors, swap in any jam or preserves you have.
