Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- 0.75 cups brown sugar
- 0.25 cups granulated sugar
- 0.75 cups butter, melted
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.75 cups seedless raspberry jam
- 0.5 cups fresh raspberries (optional, for added texture)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8x8-inch baking pan and line it with parchment paper for easier removal.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, oats, brown sugar, granulated sugar, baking soda, and salt. Stir until well combined.
Add the melted butter and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix until the ingredients come together, forming a crumbly dough.
Set aside about 3/4 cup of the crumb mixture to use as a topping. Press the remaining mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan to form the crust.
Spread the raspberry jam over the crust in an even layer. If using fresh raspberries, scatter them evenly on top of the jam.
Crumble the reserved oat mixture over the jam layer, covering it as evenly as possible.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden and the edges are lightly bubbling.
Remove from the oven and let the pan cool completely on a wire rack. Once cooled, lift the bars out using the parchment paper and cut into squares.
Store the squares in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
