Coles launches Mum's Jam to support sick kids

28 October 2024 | Expected time to read: 4 minutes

To celebrate the launch of the new Coles Mum’s Jam we are excited to share two simple recipes with you that Aussie kids will love – not just because they are delicious but because 50c from every sale of Mum’s Jam supports Hospitals United for Sick Kids (HUSK).

Strawberry Jam Oatmeal Bars 

Ingredients: 

  • 1 cup rolled oats 
  • 1 cup almond flour (or whole wheat flour) 
  • 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup 
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted 
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract 
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder 
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt 
  • 1/2 cup Coles Mum’s Jam 

Instructions: 

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 175°C and line an 20x20cm baking pan with baking paper.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a bowl, combine the melted coconut oil, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, mix the rolled oats, almond flour, baking powder, and salt.
  4. Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until well combined.
  5. Spread in Pan: Press half of the mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan. Spread the strawberry jam evenly over this layer, then crumble the remaining oat mixture on top.
  6. Bake: Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown. Let it cool before slicing into bars.
  7. Enjoy: These bars are great as a snack or breakfast option! 

Simple Scones with Jam and Cream

Ingredients: 

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour 
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder 
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt 
  • 1/4 cup sugar 
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed 
  • 3/4 cup milk (plus extra for brushing) 
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional) 

To serve: 

  • Coles Mum’s Jam 
  • Thickened or whipped cream 

Instructions: 

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 200°C and line a baking tray with baking paper.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
  3. Add Butter: Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Add Milk: Pour in the milk (and vanilla, if using) and mix gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix!
  5. Shape the Dough: Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Pat it into a circle about 2.5cm thick. Use a biscuit cutter to cut out scones and place them on the prepared baking tray.
  6. Brush with Milk: Brush the tops of the scones with a little extra milk for a golden finish.
  7. Bake: Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the scones are lightly golden.
  8. Cool: Allow the scones to cool slightly on a wire rack.
  9. Enjoy: Serve warm with Coles Mum’s Jam and cream.

These recipes are tasty, easy to make, and a great way to use Coles Mum’s Jam in a healthier way.
