Raspberry Oatmeal Crumble Bars
"I love raspberries in all ways and if there's a crumble or streusel topping, the happier I am. It’s even better when the crust and crumble topping are one in the same so there’s one less step and one less bowl to wash which is the case with these supremely easy, no-mixer bars. The bars are soft, slightly chewy, and the hearty oats are a perfect contrast to the sweet jam. The big, buttery, oatmeal crumbles are irresistible. The bars aren’t overly sweet and the raspberry flavor shines nicely making them an easy grab-and-go breakfast, snack, or a healthy dessert and they're egg-free...."
INGREDIENTS
•
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
•
1/2 cup granulated sugar
•
1/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
•
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
•
1 cup all-purpose flour
•
3/4 cup old-fashioned whole-rolled oats (don't use quick cook or instant, they're finer and behave like flour and will make mixture too dry)
•
pinch salt, optional and to taste
•
about 12 ounces raspberry preserves (I used about two-thirds of one 18-ounce jar with seeds, use seedless preserves if preferred)
