Ingredients
  

For the Crust and Topping
  • 1 cup Old Fashioned Rolled Oats Avoid quick oats for the best texture.
  • 1 cup All-Purpose Flour Can substitute with gluten-free 1-to-1 flour.
  • 1/2 cup Brown Sugar Pack it lightly for better moisture.
  • 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter Melt it for easy incorporation; or use coconut oil for a dairy-free option.
For the Raspberry Filling
  • 2 cups Fresh or Frozen Raspberries If using frozen, thaw and drain well.
  • 2 tablespoons Cornstarch Aids in thickening the filling.

Equipment

  • 8x8 inch baking dish
  • Mixing bowls
  • Fork or hands for mixing
  • Parchment paper

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and prepare an 8x8 inch baking dish by lining it with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine old fashioned rolled oats, all-purpose flour, and brown sugar. Pour in melted unsalted butter and mix until it resembles a crumbly dough.
  3. Reserve 1 cup of the crumb mixture for topping. Press the remaining mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish to form a crust.
  4. In a separate bowl, gently combine fresh or thawed raspberries, cornstarch, and a sprinkle of sugar until well coated. Spread this mixture evenly over the crust.
  5. Crumble the reserved oat mixture generously over the raspberry layer.
  6. Bake for about 30 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling bubbles around the edges.
  7. Let it cool at room temperature for 10 to 15 minutes, then transfer to the refrigerator to chill for at least 1 hour before cutting.

Notes

Drain thawed raspberries well to avoid sogginess. Chill longer for firmer bars. You can customize with spices or nuts for added flavor.
