Raspberry Crumble Bars
Delicious Raspberry Crumble Bars made with a sweet raspberry filling and a buttery crumble topping.
Equipment
- Oven
- 9x13 inch pan
- large colander
- Mixing bowl
Ingredients
Raspberry Filling
- 24 ounces frozen raspberries (two 12-ounce bags)
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar (more depending on tartness of your berries)
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 juice of lemon
Crumble Layer
- 3 cups rolled oats
- 3 cups flour
- 2 cups brown sugar (loosely packed)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1.5 cups melted butter (I prefer salted)
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Place raspberries in a large colander. Run warm water over them for a minute, and then let the liquid drain out for about an hour until softened and thoroughly drained. Mix raspberries with sugar, flour, cornstarch, and lemon juice.
- Mix the oats, flour, sugar, baking powder, butter, and salt together into a crumble-like mixture. Press two thirds of the crumble into the bottom of a 9×13 pan lined with parchment paper. Bake for 10 minutes.
- Arrange the raspberry layer on top of the baked bottom layer. Sprinkle with remaining crumble. Bake for another 25-30 minutes.
- Remove from oven. They will need a little time to set up into bars, so chill them for a few hours to get them really solid. Alternatively, cut into it right away and eat it like a soft fruit crisp!
Notes
Thawing and draining the raspberries is important for getting the bars to firm up. Using fresh raspberries is also an option, but they are usually more expensive and may result in a juicier filling.
