★ Oatmeal Jammies

Ingredients 2 cups all-purpose flour (264g) 1 ½ cups old-fashioned oats (147g) ½ cup granulated sugar (108g) ¼ cup light brown sugar, packed (53g) ½ teaspoon baking powder ½ teaspoon salt 18 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly (250g) (9-ounces) 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 10-12 ounces assorted jams, room temperature vegetable cooking spray Instructions Preheat oven to 350F. Lightly spray a regular size 12-well muffin pan with vegetable cooking spray. Set aside. In the bowl of a food processor, pulse the flour, oats, sugars, baking powder and salt until blended. Add the butter and vanilla. Pulse until the mixture becomes a crumbly dough. Scrape down the sides of the bowl if needed to help it combine. Some of it will seem dry - that's okay. Transfer the cookie dough to a large bowl and stir to combine. The dry crumbs in the bottom will be used for the streusel so no worries if it all won’t stick together. Scoop out a level, slightly packed small cookie scoop full of dough (1 tablespoon) and drop into one of the muffin tin wells. Using your fingers lightly press the dough into the bottom of the pan making sure it is level. Repeat until the pan is full. Dollop one full teaspoon of jam into the center of the cookie base in the muffin tin. Using a small spoon scatter crumbled dough around the outside edges of the cookie surrounding the jam. Press very lightly if needed to hold it together. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through baking, until

Bake for 20-22 minutes or until the cake is risen and springy to the touch. Once baked, cover with a clean kitchen towel and immediately roll with the towel still on the cake. The towel will roll inside the cake. Roll from the short side. Let the cake roll cool for about 10 minutes. Unroll the cake, remove the towel. Spread the Strawberry Rose Jam over the cake and roll it again. Dust with some icing sugar and decorate with fresh diced strawberries.
