Part 2/5:
3/4 cup (165g) of light brown sugar
3/4 cup (170g) of room temperature unsalted butter
1 cup (240g) of seedless raspberry jam
The rolled oats give the bars their wonderful chewy texture. Make sure to use old-fashioned rolled oats, as quick oats are too small, and steel-cut oats are too thick for this recipe.
Mixing the Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, salt, and rolled oats. After mixing these dry ingredients together, add the brown sugar. It's helpful to crush any large clumps of brown sugar to ensure even mixing.
Give everything a good stir until all the ingredients are well combined. The mixture will form a crumbly texture.
