Dairy-free Egg-free Jam Bars

For Mother's Day, I was looking for an easy light dessert, and ended up heavily adapting one from a cookbook. The result was still quite delicious, like a cross between a fruit crisp and a jelly doughnut. 1 c. oats 1 c. flour 2/3 c. brown sugar 1/4 t. baking soda 1/4 t. salt 1/4 c. sunflower oil 3 T. apple juice (give the rest of the juice box to the child watching you bake) 10 ounces tart jam (I used a lingonberry jam) Mix together all dry ingredients. Add oil and juice. Set aside 1/2 c. of this mixture. Press remaining mixture into a greased 9x9 pan. Spread jam over the top. Top with sprinkles of the reserved mixture. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.
