Raspberry Oatmeal Crumb Bars

These Raspberry Oatmeal Crumb Bars are filled with a delicious raspberry jam and topped with a buttery, crumbly oat topping!

These bars are easy to throw together and make a great dessert, snack, or even breakfast!

Start by making the crumbs which is just a mixture of flour, old fashioned rolled oats, granulated sugar, light brown sugar, melted butter, a little bit of salt, and vanilla extract.  Set aside about 1 cup of the mixture which you’ll use for the topping.

Then, press down the crumbs firmly into the pan to form the crust, spread the jam, sprinkle the reserved topping on top of the jam, and pop it into the oven. Don’t forget to wait for the bars to fully cool in the pan before slicing or they will fall apart.

I love these with raspberry jam, but feel free to use your favorite jam. You can also use fresh or frozen raspberries. Simply toss 2 cups of raspberries with  2 teaspoons of cornstarch, 1/3 cup of sugar, and 2 tablespoons of lemon juice. You don’t need to thaw frozen raspberries.

Store the crumble bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week or freeze for up to six months.
