Ingredients

• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cups granulated sugar
• 0.75 cups unsalted butter
• 0.75 cups raspberry jam
• 1 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 0.75 cups walnuts, chopped
• 0.5 cups rolled oats
• 0.5 cups brown sugar, packed
• 1 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoons kosher salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, allowing the edges to hang over for easy removal.

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, kosher salt, and baking powder.

Step 3

Add the unsalted butter and use your hands or a pastry cutter to blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

Take two-thirds of the crumb mixture and press it firmly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan to create the crust.

Step 5

Spread the raspberry jam evenly over the crust, leaving a small border around the edges.

Step 6

Sprinkle the semi-sweet chocolate chips and chopped walnuts evenly over the raspberry layer.

Step 7

In the remaining crumb mixture, stir in the rolled oats and brown sugar. Crumble this mixture evenly over the top of the chocolate and walnut layer.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.

Step 9

Remove the pan from the oven and allow it to cool completely on a wire rack before cutting into squares.

Step 10

Use the parchment paper overhang to lift the bars out of the pan. Slice into 16 squares and serve.
