Strawberry oat bars

INGREDIENTS COST
1 cup all-purpose flour $0.06
1 cup quick oats $0.20
1/2 cup brown sugar $0.24
1/4 tsp baking soda $0.02
1/8 tsp salt $0.02
1/2 cup butter (room temp) $0.40
1 cup aspberry jam $1.06
TOTAL $2.00

1 cup white flour
1 cup rolled oats
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/8 tsp salt
1 stick butter, softened
1 cup strawberry jam

  1. Combine dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Mix well. Add softened butter, and combine with hands until texture is uniform and crumbly.
  2. Grease an 8 x 8 glass baking dish, and put in half the crumb mixture. Pack down uniformly on the bottom.
  3. Place down jam in a layer, avoiding the edges by a half inch. (Vigorous jam spreading will pull up the crumb mixture, so spread gently.)
  4. Sprinkle the remainder of the crumb mixture on top. Pat down gently.
  5. Bake at 350 F for 35 minutes. Let cool for 10 minutes, then cut into squares.
