I have always been a huge fan of anything with homemade jam. So why not Streusel Jam Bars? When I was little I LOVED fruit! I have lots of videos of me as a little boy eating down apricots, raspberries, really and fruit I could get my hands on! Probably no surprise that I still love to incorporate fruit into most of my sweet dishes! These Streusel Jam Bars are no exception! I think you will enjoy making these, and enjoy eating and sharing them even more!
My son always jumps at the chance to help me bake. Mixing flour and dry ingredients is his specialty. (He is 3 for the less wet ingredients the easier it is to clean up!) #protip haha! I usually make some sort of baked breakfast good on Saturday mornings. Which is great because we can enjoy them all weekend long! (if they last that long!)
Bars are a great option because you can eat them with your breakfast, as a snack with your coffee or tea, or even have them for dessert! They really work in any situation! I think you will find there is no time you don’t want to have one! Any sort of jam will work with this recipe, we had a abundance of strawberries this year. So we of course now have an abundance of strawberry jam! I say this only to note you can use what you have raspberry, blueberry, strawberry, pineapple, it is all good!
