Experience the Delight of Raspberry Crumble Squares

Here’s a revamped version of the Raspberry Crumble Bars recipe that’s easy to follow and perfect for a summer treat:

Ingredients:

  • Raspberry Filling:

    • 24 ounces of frozen raspberries (you can also use fresh ones if you prefer)
    • 1/2 cup granulated sugar (add a bit more if your raspberries are really tart)
    • 2 tablespoons flour
    • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
    • Juice of one lemon
  • Crumble Layer:

    • 3 cups rolled oats (old fashioned is best)
    • 3 cups flour
    • 2 cups loosely packed brown sugar
    • 1 teaspoon baking powder
    • 1 1/2 cups melted butter (salted works great)
    • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions:

  1. Prep the Raspberries:

    • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
    • Place the raspberries in a large colander and rinse them under warm water for about a minute. Let them drain for about an hour until they’re softened and well-drained. To help them along, you can gently press them to squeeze out extra liquid.
    • Toss the raspberries with sugar, flour, cornstarch, and lemon juice.
  2. Make the Crust:

    • In a bowl, mix together the oats, flour, brown sugar, baking powder, melted butter, and salt until it forms a crumbly mixture.
    • Press two-thirds of this mixture into the bottom of a 9×13 inch baking pan lined with parchment paper. Bake this base for 10 minutes.
  3. Assemble and Bake:

    • Spread the raspberry mixture over the pre-baked crust. Sprinkle the remaining crumble mixture on top.
    • Bake in the oven for another 25-30 minutes.
  4. Cool and Serve:

    • Let the bars cool down after baking. They’ll need a few hours in the fridge to set properly and form into bars. If you’re too eager to wait, feel free to dig in while it’s still like a soft fruit crisp!

Notes:

  • Thawing and draining the raspberries properly is crucial to avoid soggy bars.
  • Chilling the bars helps them hold their shape better and enhances the flavor, especially if you like your desserts cold.

Enjoy your delicious Raspberry Crumble Bars, a perfect blend of tart raspberries and sweet, buttery crumble!
