This recipe is exceptionally easy to make since the bottom crust of these bars and the oat crumble on top is the same. The filling is simply made with raspberries- that’s all! If you want your bars to be more sweet than tart I recommend adding 1/4 cup of sugar.

Equipment

  • Small mixing bowl
  • Medium mixing bowl
  • 8 x 8 inch baking pan

Ingredients

To make the crumble crust

  • 6 Tbsp. melted butter or melted coconut oil
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour or whole wheat flour
  • 1 3/4 cup old-fashioned oats (not instant)
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp. nutmeg

To make the filling

  • 2 cup fresh or frozen raspberries (make sure to thaw and drain excess water if using frozen raspberries)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line the bottom of an 8 x 8 inch baking pan with parchment paper or with cooking spray.
  • To make the crumble crust, mix together the flour, oats, honey, brown sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg. Stir until incorporated. Add in the melted butter and vanilla and stir until just combined. The mixture should be a little dry and crumbly.
  • Reserve 1 cup of the mixture and set it to the side. This will be your crumble topping. Add the crumble crust oat mixture to the prepared baking pan. Firmly press the mixture evenly into the bottom of the pan.
  • In a small bowl, mash together the fresh raspberries with a fork and spread evenly over the oat mixture.
  • Sprinkle the remaining crumble mixture evenly over the top of the raspberries. Bake the bars for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown. Let the bars cool for 10 minutes and then cut into 9 large bars or 16 smaller bars. Enjoy!

    I made this with whole wheat flour and coconut oil and followed recipe to a T! I did not add sugar to the raspberry’s and it was really good!
    I am definitely going to make again!
    I was actually surprised as most recipes people say are good aren’t but this surely was thank you and well done!

    I thought these were delicious. You can’t even taste the whole wheat flour. I used less raspberries because that’s all I had, and it still turned out well.
