Ingredients

• 230 grams unsalted butter
• 150 grams granulated sugar
• 100 grams brown sugar
• 310 grams all-purpose flour
• 80 grams rolled oats
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 350 grams raspberry preserves
• 150 grams fresh raspberries
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal, and lightly grease the parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, rolled oats, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix until well combined.

Step 3

Cut the cold unsalted butter into cubes and add it to the dry mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the mixture until it forms a crumbly texture and holds together when squeezed.

Step 4

Take 2/3 of the crumb mixture and press it firmly and evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan to create the base layer. Set aside the remaining 1/3 of the mixture for the crumb topping.

Step 5

In a medium bowl, combine the raspberry preserves, fresh raspberries, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Gently mash the raspberries with a fork but leave some pieces intact for texture.

Step 6

Spread the raspberry mixture evenly over the crust layer in the pan.

Step 7

Sprinkle the reserved crumb mixture evenly over the raspberry layer, ensuring it covers the fruit but still allows some of the filling to peek through.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes, or until the crumb topping turns golden brown and the filling is bubbly.

Step 9

Remove the pan from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack. Once cooled, use the parchment overhang to lift the bars from the pan and transfer them to a cutting board.

Step 10

Slice into 12 bars or your desired size. Serve at room temperature and enjoy!
