Description
These Raspberry Crumble Bars feature a buttery crust and crumb topping with a sweet-tart raspberry filling. They’re perfect for dessert, snacks, or even breakfast!
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup rolled oats
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ½ tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- ½ cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
- 1 egg
- 2 cups fresh raspberries (or frozen)
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 tsp lemon juice (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, combine flour, oats, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Add the cold, cubed butter. Use a pastry cutter or your hands to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Add the egg and mix until it forms a dough. It may seem a bit crumbly.
- Press about 2/3 of the dough into the bottom of the prepared pan to form the crust. Set aside the rest of the dough for the topping.
- In a small saucepan, combine raspberries, sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, stirring often, until the raspberries break down and the mixture thickens.
- Remove from heat and let the raspberry mixture cool slightly.
- Spread the raspberry mixture evenly over the crust in the pan.
- Sprinkle the remaining crumble dough on top of the raspberry filling.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
- Let the bars cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.
Notes
- You can use frozen raspberries, but thaw and drain excess liquid first.
- Lemon juice enhances the tartness of raspberries but is optional.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or refrigerate for longer freshness.
- Can be served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
