Ingredients

• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1.5 cups rolled oats
• 0.75 cups brown sugar
• 0.25 cups granulated sugar
• 0.75 cups unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 1.25 cups raspberry preserves or jam
• 1 teaspoons vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9x13-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.

Step 3

Cut the butter into small cubes and add it to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to blend the butter into the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

Set aside 1 cup of the crumb mixture for the topping. Press the remaining mixture firmly into the prepared baking dish to form an even crust.

Step 5

In a small bowl, mix the raspberry preserves with vanilla extract. Spread the raspberry mixture evenly over the crust, leaving a small border around the edges.

Step 6

Sprinkle the reserved crumb mixture over the raspberry layer, ensuring it is distributed evenly.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbling slightly.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and let the bars cool in the pan for at least 30 minutes to set. Use the parchment paper to lift the bars onto a cutting board, and cut into 12 even squares or rectangles.

Step 9

Serve the raspberry bars at room temperature or slightly warm. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week.
