These bars are a delightful mix of tangy raspberries and rich oatmeal crumble—makes your heart skip a beat! Not only are they delicious, but they are also a breeze to whip up. Gather your ingredients and let’s get down to business:

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups fresh raspberries (or frozen, if that’s what you got)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

  1. First things first, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a baking pan (around 8×8 inches should do it).
  2. In a large bowl, mix together the oats, flour, brown sugar, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add in that softened butter and stir until everything is nicely combined and crumbly.
  3. Next, press half of that crumbly mixture into the bottom of your baking pan. Make it nice and even!
  4. In another bowl, mix the raspberries with lemon juice and vanilla extract. Then, spread that juicy raspberry goodness over our oat base.
  5. Top it off with the remaining crumble mixture, making sure to sprinkle it evenly over the top.
  6. Pop them in the oven and bake for about 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and your kitchen is filled with the sweetest aroma.
  7. Once they’re done, let them cool in the pan before slicing them into squares. Patience, my friends!
