Raspberry Oat bars

This is a simple dessert, yet very good. I would serve it with vanilla ice cream. Don't hesitate to try different varieties of jam and nuts. Some great combos are raspberry-almonds, blackberry-hazelnuts, peach-pecans. Experiment away and find the one you love!

Ingredients
1 ½ c. flour (I use whole wheat flour and they are fantastic!)
2 c. rolled oats
1 ½ c. nuts (walnuts, pecans, almonds, hazelnuts...)
2 tsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
1 ½ tsp cinnamon
1 cup + 2 tbsp. butter
1 ½ c. brown sugar
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 c. raspberry jam (or whatever you choose)

Method
1. Preheat oven to 350, grease 10x15 inch sheet
2. Place all ingredients except egg and jam in food mixer and blend
3. Remove 1/2 of mixture and set aside
4. Blend egg into remaining mixture and press into sheet. Bake until lightly browned, approx. 10 min.
5. Remove and spread jam on mixture, sprinkle with remaining mixture
6. Bake for another 10 min
7. Cool and cut
