Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1.5 cups brown sugar, packed
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup shredded sweetened coconut
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 1 cup seedless raspberry jam
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9x13-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving a slight overhang for easy removal, and set aside.
In a large bowl, cream the butter and brown sugar together with a hand or stand mixer until light and fluffy. Mix in the vanilla extract.
In a separate medium bowl, combine the flour, oats, shredded coconut, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add these dry ingredients to the creamed butter mixture, mixing until just combined. The mixture will be crumbly.
Take two-thirds of the crumble mixture and press it firmly into the prepared baking dish to create an even base layer.
Spread the raspberry jam evenly over the base layer, spreading it to the edges with a spatula or the back of a spoon.
Sprinkle the remaining crumble mixture evenly over the raspberry jam layer, pressing it down gently with your hands to adhere it to the jam layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the edges are slightly bubbling.
Remove the dish from the oven and allow the bars to cool completely in the pan. Once cooled, lift them out using the parchment overhang and cut them into 12 bars.
Serve and enjoy! Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
