Raspberry Crumble Bars

Sure! Here’s a recipe for Raspberry Crumble Bars:

Ingredients:

For the Crust and Crumble Topping:

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, cold and cut into small cubes

For the Raspberry Filling:

  • 2 cups fresh or frozen raspberries
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×9-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, rolled oats, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  3. Add the cold cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the butter into the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. Set aside 1 cup of the crumble mixture for later use.
  4. Press the remaining crumble mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan to form the crust.
  5. In a separate bowl, gently toss together the raspberries, granulated sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and lemon zest until well combined.
  6. Spread the raspberry mixture over the crust in the baking pan.
  7. Sprinkle the reserved 1 cup of crumble mixture evenly over the raspberry layer.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the raspberry filling is bubbly.
  9. Allow the raspberry crumble bars to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
  10. Once cooled, lift the bars out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang and transfer them to a cutting board. Cut into squares or bars.
  11. Serve and enjoy!
