Please read my disclosure policy. Incredibly simple and delicious oatmeal cookie jam bars. These bars come together in less than 30 minutes and only require 6 ingredients! Today, I’ve got some super simple and delicious blackberry oatmeal cookie jam bars. These bars are so simple and take just minutes to make. They are the perfect last-minute dessert to bring to a brunch or surprise your Mom. And they can all be mixed up in one bowl. I love when that happens! Minimal dirty dishes and super quick clean-up. Basically the base is just a butter, sugar, and flour mix. A little over half of that base gets pressed into the bottom of a pan. Then jam gets spread on top. For the jam you can use whatever flavor you would like! If you don’t have a blackberry jam or don’t like blackberries, feel free to use whatever flavor you do like. I’ve done these bars with raspberry and strawberry and loved those flavors too. Whatever you prefer. One thing to make sure you do is line the pan with parchment paper. When these bake the jam will seep out along the edges and if you haven’t lined your pan it makes for an interesting challenge trying to remove these. I speak from experience on this one 🙂 Not too many other directions are needed – these live up to the first word in the title – simple!

My mom made something really similar when we were growing up and I absolutely loved it! Can’t wait to try this version! Reply
I am such a sucker for anything with oatmeal and love these bars – they look delicious! Love how simple and easy they are to whip up too 🙂 Bonne Maman is my fave too and can’t wait to make these – pinning 🙂 Reply
I just made this recipe but instead of jam I used apple butter in one batch and pumpkin butter in another…very good for fall celebrations that will be coming up shortly. Reply
Made them with lingonberry jam from IKEA, which is pretty tart, but there was actually a good balance between that sharpness and the other flavors. They are delicious! Reply
These are amazing. But I would not put a whole cup of jam in it. The first time I did and they did not hold their shape. Just remade them with half a cup, and they are perfect! Reply
These came out delicious. Mine came out super soft and fell apart. We let them cool don’t know why. Reply
