These Raspberry Crumble Bars are THE BEST! So soft, buttery, and delicious. My favorite summer dessert.

Ingredients

  • two 12-ounce bags of frozen raspberries (see notes)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar (more depending on tartness of your berries)
  • 2 tablespoons flour
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • juice of one lemon
  • 3 cups rolled oats
  • 3 cups flour
  • 2 cups brown sugar (loosely packed)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 1/2 cups melted butter (I prefer salted)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Directions

  1. 1

    Prep Raspberries: 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 (see notes). Mix raspberries with sugar, flour, cornstarch, and lemon juice.

  2. 2

    Soft Delicious Crust: 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.

  3. 3

    Bake: Arrange the raspberry layer on top of the baked bottom layer. Sprinkle with remaining crumble. Bake for another 25-30 minutes.

  4. 4

    Finish: Remove from oven. They will need a little time to set up into “bar” formation, so chill them for a few hours to get them really solid. Orrrr… cut into it right away and eat it like a soft fruit crisp! You should be able to remove them from the pan easily by pulling up on the edges of the parchment paper.
