Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 170 grams unsalted butter, softened
- 150 grams granulated sugar
- 50 grams brown sugar, packed
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 220 grams all-purpose flour
- 100 grams almond flour
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 300 grams raspberry jam
- 60 grams slivered almonds
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Line a 9x9-inch (23x23 cm) baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Beat with a hand or stand mixer until light and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the vanilla extract and mix to combine.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, almond flour, and salt.
Slowly add the dry ingredients to the butter and sugar mixture, mixing on low speed until a crumbly dough forms. Reserve 1/2 cup of the dough for the topping.
Press the remaining dough evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan to form a crust.
Spread the raspberry jam over the crust in an even layer, leaving a small border around the edges to prevent sticking.
Crumble the reserved dough over the jam layer, creating a streusel-like topping.
Sprinkle the slivered almonds evenly over the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the jam is bubbling slightly around the edges.
Remove from the oven and let the bars cool completely in the pan (about 1-2 hours). For best results, chill them in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before slicing.
Use the parchment overhang to lift the bars out of the pan. Slice into 12 equal pieces and serve.
