Mixing bowl
Fork or pastry cutter
Spatula
8x8-inch baking pan
Parchment paper
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup old-fashioned oats
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup raspberry jam or fresh raspberries
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch (if using fresh raspberries)
Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8x8-inch baking pan and line it with parchment paper for easy removal later. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, oats, melted butter, brown sugar, salt, and vanilla extract. Use your fingers or a fork to mix until the texture resembles coarse crumbs.
Press about two-thirds of the oat mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan. Use the back of a spoon or your fingers to ensure it’s compact and smooth.
If you’re using fresh raspberries, toss them with cornstarch to thicken the juices. Spread the raspberry jam or fresh berries evenly over the crust.
Sprinkle the remaining oat mixture over the raspberry layer, gently pressing it down to create a crumbly topping.
Raspberry Oatmeal Bars are perfect for any occasion and bring a delightful burst of flavor with every bite. They are great as gifts, snacks, or elegant desserts for gatherings.
