Strawberry Jam Crumble Bars with Nutella
Strawberry Jam Crumble Bars with Nutella! Strawberry jam is sandwiched between a crust and a oatmeal crumble topping and finished off with a swirl of Nutella.
Servings: 16 squares
Ingredients
- 1½ cups flour
- 1½ cups rolled oats
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 12 tablespoons butter melted
- ½ cup toasted hazelnuts roughly chopped
- 1¼ cups strawberry jam or preserves
- 2 tablespoons chocolate hazelnut spread
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a 9x9 inch pan with foil, overlapping on all sides. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine flour, ¾ cup rolled oats, brown sugar, baking powder and salt and mix to combine. Pour melted butter into dry mixture in a thin stream, mixing it into the dry ingredients until it has the look of wet sand.
- Scoop out about half of the mixture and place it in the prepared baking pan. Press down with your fingers to pack it down into a sturdy base.
- To the remaining mixture, add the rest of the oats and the hazelnuts, mixing to combine. Set aside.
- Spread strawberry jam over the bottom layer in the pan, making sure to cover entirely.
- Grab the remaining mixture by the handful, squishing it together to create a pebbly crumble and sprinkle it over the top of the jam. Cover completely.
- Bake for about 40 minutes until the topping is lightly browned and the jam is bubbly. Remove from oven and allow to cool completely.
- Place the chocolate hazelnut spread into a zip-top bag and snip one corner. Drizzle the crumble top with the spread. {You can also warm it up a bit to loosen it and just drizzle with a spoon for a more rustic look.}
- Cut into bars and enjoy!
