Ingredients
- 200 grams unsalted butter
- 150 grams granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 250 grams all-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 250 grams raspberry jam
- 75 grams rolled oats
- 50 grams brown sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a 9x13-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal later.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, cream the unsalted butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy. Mix in the vanilla extract.
Step 3
Add the all-purpose flour and salt to the butter mixture. Stir until a soft dough forms.
Step 4
Set aside one-third of the dough for the crumb topping. Press the remaining two-thirds of the dough evenly into the prepared baking dish to form a base layer.
Step 5
Spread the raspberry jam evenly over the base layer, leaving a small 1 cm border around the edges to prevent overflow during baking.
Step 6
In another bowl, combine the reserved dough with the rolled oats, brown sugar, and baking powder. Mix until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Step 7
Sprinkle this crumb mixture evenly over the raspberry jam layer, covering it completely.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the jam layer is bubbling slightly.
Step 9
Remove from the oven and let it cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
Step 10
Once cooled, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the raspberry chews out of the pan. Cut into 12 equal squares or bars and serve!
