Ingredients
  

For the Raspberry Filling:

2 cups fresh raspberries (or frozen, thawed)

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 tablespoon cornstarch

For the Oatmeal Crumble Base and Topping:

1 1/2 cups rolled oats

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup brown sugar, packed

1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
 

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x9-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easier removal.

    Prepare the Raspberry Filling: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the raspberries, granulated sugar, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Cook for 5-7 minutes, gently stirring, until the raspberries soften and the mixture begins to thicken. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

      Make the Oatmeal Crumble Base: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the rolled oats, flour, baking powder, salt, and brown sugar. Pour in the melted butter and vanilla extract. Mix with a fork until the mixture is crumbly but holds together when pressed.

        Assemble the Bars: Press half of the oatmeal mixture firmly into the prepared baking pan to form an even layer. Spread the raspberry filling evenly over the base and then sprinkle the remaining oatmeal crumble on top, pressing down gently.

          Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is lightly golden and bubbling.

            Cool and Cut: Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan, then lift them out using the parchment paper (if used). Cut into squares or rectangles.

              Serve: Enjoy these delicious Raspberry Oatmeal Crumble Bars warm or at room temperature. They store well in an airtight container for up to one week.
