For the Base

1 cup all-purpose flour The foundation of our slice, giving it that perfect texture.
1 cup rolled oats Adds heartiness and a nice chewiness.
1/2 cup brown sugar For sweetness and a touch of caramel flavor.
1/2 cup unsalted butter melted, brings everything together and adds richness.
1/2 teaspoon baking powder Helps our slice rise just a bit.
1/2 teaspoon salt Balances the sweetness perfectly.
1 cup wild berry jam The star of the show, bursting with fruity goodness.
1/2 cup chopped nuts optional, for those who love a little crunch!

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x9 inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
Step 2: In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix well until evenly distributed.
Step 3: Pour the melted butter into the dry ingredients and mix until it forms a crumbly mixture. Reserve about 1/2 cup of this mixture for the topping.
Step 4: Press the remaining mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
Step 5: Evenly spread the wild berry jam over the pressed base. If desired, sprinkle chopped nuts on top of the jam.
Step 6: Crumble the reserved mixture evenly over the jam layer.
Step 7: Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the jam is bubbly.
Step 8: Remove from the oven and let it cool in the pan for at least 10 minutes. Slice into squares or bars.
Step 9: Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
