Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cups granulated sugar
- 0.75 cups unsalted butter
- 0.75 cups raspberry jam
- 1 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 0.75 cups walnuts, chopped
- 0.5 cups rolled oats
- 0.5 cups brown sugar, packed
- 1 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons kosher salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, allowing the edges to hang over for easy removal.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, kosher salt, and baking powder.
Add the unsalted butter and use your hands or a pastry cutter to blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Take two-thirds of the crumb mixture and press it firmly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan to create the crust.
Spread the raspberry jam evenly over the crust, leaving a small border around the edges.
Sprinkle the semi-sweet chocolate chips and chopped walnuts evenly over the raspberry layer.
In the remaining crumb mixture, stir in the rolled oats and brown sugar. Crumble this mixture evenly over the top of the chocolate and walnut layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
Remove the pan from the oven and allow it to cool completely on a wire rack before cutting into squares.
Use the parchment paper overhang to lift the bars out of the pan. Slice into 16 squares and serve.
