Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 230 grams unsalted butter
- 150 grams granulated sugar
- 100 grams light brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 350 grams all-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 350 grams raspberry preserves
- 150 grams fresh raspberries
- 100 grams rolled oats
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line a 9x13-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 light brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Mix in the vanilla extract, then gradually add the all-purpose flour and salt. Stir until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs and starts to come together when pressed.
Reserve about 1 1/2 cups of the crumb mixture for the topping and press the remaining mixture evenly into the prepared pan to form the crust.
Bake the crust for 15 minutes, then remove it from the oven and let it cool slightly.
Spread the raspberry preserves evenly over the baked crust and scatter the fresh raspberries on top for extra texture and brightness.
To the reserved crumb mixture, add the rolled oats and stir to combine. Sprinkle the oat mixture evenly over the raspberry layer.
Return to the oven and bake for an additional 30 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the raspberry filling is bubbling.
Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan before lifting them out using the parchment paper overhang. Slice into 16 squares and serve.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
