Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 350°F. In a large bowl, combine 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 cup rolled oats, 3/4 cup packed brown sugar, 1 tsp baking powder, and 1/4 tsp sea salt.
  2. Step 2: Add 1 cup cold cubed unsalted butter to the dry ingredients. Using your fingers or a pastry cutter, rub the butter into the mixture until coarse crumbs form.
  3. Step 3: Stir in 1/2 cup chopped macadamia nuts, reserving a small handful for topping.
  4. Step 4: Press about two-thirds of this crumb mixture evenly into the bottom of a greased 9x13-inch baking pan.
  5. Step 5: Spread 3/4 cup Davidson’s plum jam evenly over the base layer, then sprinkle the remaining crumb mixture and reserved nuts over the top.
  6. Step 6: Bake for 35-40 minutes until the top is golden and firm to the touch. Let cool completely before cutting into bars to allow the jam to set.
