Description
These Chocolate Raspberry Crumb Bars combine a buttery oat crumb crust, a layer of sweet raspberry jam, and a sprinkle of chocolate chips for a deliciously rich and fruity treat.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (226g) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups (180g) old-fashioned rolled oats
- 3/4 cup (240g) raspberry jam or preserves
- 1 cup (175g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Mix in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture.
- Stir in the oats until fully combined. Reserve 1 1/2 cups of the crumb mixture for the topping.
- Press the remaining mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan to form a crust.
- Spread the raspberry jam evenly over the crust.
- Sprinkle the chocolate chips evenly over the jam layer.
- Crumble the reserved oat mixture evenly over the top.
- Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown.
- Allow to cool completely in the pan before cutting into bars.
Notes
- You can substitute raspberry jam with any berry jam of your choice.
- For a nuttier texture, add chopped walnuts or almonds to the crumb topping.
- Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days at room temperature or refrigerate for longer shelf life.
