Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams unsalted butter
- 150 grams granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 250 grams all-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 250 grams raspberry jam
- 75 grams rolled oats
- 50 grams brown sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a 9x13-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal later.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the unsalted butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy. Mix in the vanilla extract.
Add the all-purpose flour and salt to the butter mixture. Stir until a soft dough forms.
Set aside one-third of the dough for the crumb topping. Press the remaining two-thirds of the dough evenly into the prepared baking dish to form a base layer.
Spread the raspberry jam evenly over the base layer, leaving a small 1 cm border around the edges to prevent overflow during baking.
In another bowl, combine the reserved dough with the rolled oats, brown sugar, and baking powder. Mix until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Sprinkle this crumb mixture evenly over the raspberry jam layer, covering it completely.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the jam layer is bubbling slightly.
Remove from the oven and let it cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
Once cooled, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the raspberry chews out of the pan. Cut into 12 equal squares or bars and serve!
