    Oatmeal Jam Bars are a Sweet Any Day Treat for All

    2
    By Alisa Fleming on July 5, 2022 Dairy Free Desserts, Dairy-Free Recipes, Dairy-Free Snack Recipes

    These gluten-free dairy-free oatmeal jam bars are perfect for afternoon summer snacks, but they’re also a great option for lunch boxes. They are top allergen-free, and safe for school nut-free policies. Plus, they use everyday ingredients that you probably already have on hand.

    These Oatmeal Jam Bars are a Dairy-Free, Gluten-Free Treat

    This dessert-snack hybrid was originally shared with us by my friend Chrystal of Gluten-Free Palate. It’s a classic that I’m sure you’ve enjoyed some time in your life! A sweet crumble sandwiches your jam filling of choice. You can even use more than one kind of jam if you want to mix things up. Here are some more quick ingredient tips for making these gluten-free dairy-free oatmeal jam bars yours.

    • Gluten-Free Flour Blend: We’ve included Chrystal’s quick flour blend recipe, but you can use a store-bought blend, if you prefer. A good friend swears by King Arthur Measure for Measure Gluten-Free Flour Blend for all baked goods.
    • Buttery Options: We like dairy-free buttery sticks for this type of recipe. If you can’t find one that meets your needs, you can use non-hydrogenated shortening or coconut oil. If using either of these options, I would add a pinch of salt.
    • Spice it Up: Chrystal keeps it simple, but you can add some cinnamon or other pie spices, as desired. I would match any spice to your jam filling. For example, ground ginger goes well with apricot jam, while cinnamon is nice with blueberry or strawberry jam. If using cinnamon, I would add about 1/2 teaspoon, but with stronger spices like ginger, start with just 1/4 teaspoon.
    • Add Zest: Instead of spice, you could add orange or lemon zest to the jam to play up the fruit side of these oatmeal jam bars.

    Author: Chrystal Carver
    Recipe type: Dessert
    Cuisine: American
    Serves: 24 small bars
    Ingredients
    • 1 cup all-purpose gluten-free flour blend (see note below)
    • 1 cup quick oats (use certified gluten-free, if needed)
    • ⅔ cup packed brown sugar
    • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
    • ½ cup (1 stick) dairy-free buttery spread or sticks
    • 10 ounces strawberry, raspberry or blackberry jam
    Instructions
    1. Preheat your oven to 350°F and position the oven rack in center of oven.
    2. Grease a 9-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
    3. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour blend, oats, brown sugar, and baking soda. Add the butter alternative and whisk or cut in until evenly distributed and coarse crumbles form.
    4. Press half of the flour-oat mixture into the bottom of your prepared pan. Spread fruit jam on top. Sprinkle the remaining flour mixture on top of the fruit jam.
    5. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until the top is golden brown.
    6. Set the pan on a wire rack to cool. Let it cool completely before cutting into bars.
    7. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
    Notes
    Gluten-Free Flour Blend: Chrystal uses ½ cup white rice flour or brown rice flour + ¼ cup tapioca starch + ¼ cup potato starch. Alternatively, you can use a store-bought gluten-free flour blend.

      This is one of so many great recipes in Chrystal’s book! I took it with me to read and dream–or should I say drool?–while on vacation. 😉 Can’t wait to try some of the recipes! Thanks so much for sharing on Gluten-Free Wednesdays, Alisa. 🙂

        Indeed! This recipe was so popular on FB, that I knew I had to share it with your gang, too. Her book has such a nice down-home feel 🙂
