These come together easily, and you can use any jam you like! They are delicious!
Why You’ll Love These Jam Bars
The main reason is that they are so good and so easy, but the other reason is that you can use any jam you like. We of course made these with blackberry jam because it’s our favorite, but you could use strawberry, peach, apple… all would be delicious. Also, this recipe is only a handful of ingredients and comes together so easily in a 9×9, which is perfect for a small gathering. If love a small dessert that is super versatile, this is the one.
Easy Swaps for these Jam Bars
You can easily switch up the nuts; we love to use walnuts or pecans, or if you are not a fan, just leave them out altogether. And of course, you can use any jam you like. We have not tried doubling the recipe, but I see no reason why it wouldn’t work.

Easy Jam Bars
These are made with only a few ingredients and you can use any jam you love! Easy and delicious.
- 1 cup of butter softened
- 1 cup of sugar
- 2 cups of all purpose flour
- 2 egg whites
- 1 cup of walnuts
- 3/4 cup of jam
-
Cream together the butter and sugar and then add the egg whites. Then add flour and nuts. Pat half the mixture in the bottom of a greased 9X9 dish. I like to press it down with a fork.
-
Spread jam over the top (I use Blackberry Jam but you can use any jam you wish) then drop the rest of the mixture on top. Bake on 350 for 35-40 minutes until the top browns a little.
-
Let cool and then cut in to squares. Makes about 9 bars, depending on how you cut them.
I did the servings based on the recipe making 12 bars and a serving as 2. It will depend on how you cut them.
