Recipe Notes
Coconut Palm Sugar
If you don’t have any on hand, it can be replaced with regular brown sugar. However, the nutritional information in the recipe card may be different.
Flour
Same goes for the flour. Regular white flour can be used in place of the whole wheat version.
No Food Processor?
A blender, pastry cutter or using two knives will also work.
Jam
Ours is of the mixed berry variety, but, any flavor will work. Go with your fave!

If I wanted to bake this in a 8 x 8 or 9 x 9 pan, how much longer would I need to bake it? I want a slightly thicker bar. Thank you.
Hi Monika- -I haven’t baked these in a smaller pan, so, I can’t say for certain. However, I think adding 5-8 minutes would be a good place to start. Please let me know how they turn out!
Thanks for replying. One more question: Would all-purpose flour work in the same amount? Thanks!
Yes, regular AP flour will work.
Your Oatmeal Jam Bar will be a very special treat! Hope you are having a really good week and thanks so much for sharing with us at Full Plate Thursday!
