1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
1 1/2 cups oats
1/2-2/3 cup sucanat or brown sugar
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup melted butter or coconut oil
1/2 cup strawberry jam (100% fruit)

Mix together flour, oats, sucanat/brown sugar, baking powder, and salt.  Stir in melted butter until the mixture is crumbly.  Press 2/3 of the mixture into an 9×9 inch baking pan.  Spread jam over the top.  Sprinkle remaining oat mixture on top.

Bake at 350° F oven for 30-35 minutes or until lightly browned.
