These gluten-free jam bars are so good and really easy to make too. I have used homemade pineapple jam for the filling, but you can use whatever your favorite jam or jelly. These bars freeze and travel well.

- Line a 20x24-cm baking dish with parchment paper. Preheat the oven to 180C/350F.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the buckwheat flour, cornstarch, cinnamon, ginger, sea salt and baking powder.
- Cream butter and sugar with an electric stand or hand mixer until light and fluffy. Beat in egg and vanilla extract until well combined. Gradually stir in flour mixture and beat at slow speed. Stir in the almond slices. Reserve about 1 cup for the topping. Press the remaining dough evenly into the prepared baking pan.
- Spread the pineapple jam evenly on the dough. Cover the jam with the reserved dough. Bake for about 25 minutes until lightly golden brown. Cool completely and cut into slices.

Pinned! My kinda coffee treat Angie :)
Lovely jam bars! They must be quite addictive.
Cheers,

These look lovely and great that they work with any homemade jam. They'd be perfect with my home made blackberry jam. GG
Yum, like the sound of ginger & cinnamon with the pineapple jam.

Love the jam bars...
The best part of gluten free desserts are; that we can all enjoy the health benefits, and they are super delicious as well! Angie, when my children were little, that's all I used to make is all kinds of dessert bars...mostly with jam. I still have a couple jars of the homemade mango Lora and I made, and looking forward to making these yummy bars! xo

I didn't try buckwheat in a sweet version; now that I see how good it looks, I will give it a go!
Love that crumbly top of your jam bars! Breakfast and snack perfect!
these bars are not to sweet with just right amount nuts, These would be delicious as a snack, and even better with a good steaming hot cup of coffee.

Wish i could grab some off the screen to go with my coffee :) Love pineapple treats
These bars look fantastic. They would be great for my kids lunch boxes!!
Thanks for stopping in at my blog post on the Amish today, Angie! Yes, the Amish eat just about anything they can raise in their gardens or on the hoof. I don't think they have dietary restrictions.
Lovely bars, Angie! I would love to have these with a cup of warm tea!
I like the idea of pineapple in your jam bars...can't wait to try the recipe when we return from Europe. :)
Oh Angie, These look amazing! I love everything about them…the almonds, pineapple jam and the buckwheat flour. Another wonderful recipe!
Dear Angie, A delicious dessert and a healthy snack too. Blessings dear. Catherine xo

School lunch boxes! Y
These look delicious, Angie! I have been wondering what else to do with my buckwheat flour besides just pancakes. These bars are a great idea!
Absolutely loving the spices in these bars, my friend :)
I have a pound of buckwheat flour just sitting in my pantry. I usually use it with chocolate, but I'm SO trying these bars Angie!
My mom used to make jam bars like this. We loved them as kids. I have to make these. They'll bring back happy memories.
What a deliciously healthy treat! I don't think I've seen pineapple jam but I suppose any type of jam would work ??

I would not be shy about eating many of these in one sitting :)
I think I've seen some pineapple jam here somewhere :D Those are delicious bars , a much more healthier version of pineapple pastry ! I love it , Angie !
Wow how fabulous these truly look. I have buckwheat flour so I am pinning these to make soon :-)
