Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1.25 cups raspberry preserves (seedless, if preferred)
- 1 cup fresh raspberries
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9x9-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar using a hand mixer or stand mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Mix in the vanilla extract, then gradually add the all-purpose flour and salt. Stir until fully combined into a crumbly dough.
Set aside 1 cup of the crumbly dough for the topping. Press the remaining dough firmly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan to form an even crust.
Bake the crust for 15 minutes, or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly.
Spread the raspberry preserves evenly over the partially baked crust. Sprinkle the fresh raspberries over the preserve layer, gently pressing them into the filling.
In a small bowl, mix the reserved crumbly dough with the rolled oats. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the raspberry layer to form a crumble topping.
Bake the bars for an additional 25 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbling around the edges.
Remove the pan from the oven and let the bars cool completely in the pan, about 1 hour. For easier slicing, refrigerate for 30 minutes after cooling.
Using the parchment paper overhang, lift the bars out of the pan. Slice them into 16 squares and serve.
