Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups (450g) raspberries (fresh or frozen)
- 1 ½ cups (190g) all-purpose flour
- 1 cup (90g) rolled oats
- ½ cup (100g) granulated sugar
- ½ cup (100g) brown sugar
- ¾ cup (170g) unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 2 tablespoons (30ml) lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons (15g) cornstarch
- A pinch of salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
- In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, rolled oats, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and a pinch of salt. Add the cold, cubed butter and use a pastry cutter or fork to mix until crumbly. Reserve 1 cup of the crumble mixture for the topping.
- In another bowl, toss the raspberries with lemon juice, cornstarch, and granulated sugar. Stir gently to coat.
- Press the remaining crumble mixture into the prepared baking dish to form the crust. Spread the raspberry filling evenly over the crust, then sprinkle the reserved crumble on top.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the raspberries are bubbling.
- Let the bars cool completely before lifting them out of the dish and slicing into squares.
Notes
For best results, use cold butter to achieve a crumbly texture. Allow the bars to cool completely before slicing to ensure neat squares. You can use frozen raspberries straight from the freezer to avoid excess moisture.
