Description
Raspberry Oatmeal Crumble Bars are a delicious and easy dessert made with rolled oats, fresh raspberries, and a crumbly topping.
Ingredients
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups fresh or frozen raspberries
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×9-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
- In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, flour, brown sugar, salt, and baking soda. Stir until well mixed.
- Pour in the melted butter and vanilla extract. Mix until the dry ingredients are fully combined and crumbly.
- Press about two-thirds of the oat mixture into the bottom of the prepared baking dish to form a crust.
- In another bowl, combine the raspberries, lemon juice, cornstarch, and granulated sugar. Gently toss to coat the raspberries.
- Spread the raspberry mixture evenly over the crust in the baking dish.
- Crumble the remaining oat mixture over the top of the raspberries.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the raspberries are bubbling.
- Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.
Notes
- For a nutty flavor, add 1/2 cup of chopped nuts (like almonds or walnuts) to the oat mixture.
- Substitute the raspberries with blueberries or strawberries for a different fruit flavor.
