LEMON-RASPBERRY OATMEAL CRUMB BARS

Lemon-Raspberry Oatmeal Crumb Bars image

These delicious, easy-to-make bars are sweet and tangy with an oatmeal crust and crumble. I prefer a thicker crust, using 3/4 of the oatmeal mixture for the crust and 1/4 for the crumbles. Feel free to make a thinner crust, using 1/2 of the oatmeal mixture for the crust and the other 1/2 for the crumble.

Ingredients

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup rolled oats
1 cup brown sugar
½ cup white sugar
1 tablespoon lemon zest
½ teaspoon baking powder
¾ cup butter, melted
¼ cup white sugar
1 ½ tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon lemon zest
2 cups fresh raspberries
2 tablespoons lemon juice

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease an 8x8-inch baking dish.
Combine flour, oats, brown sugar, sugar, lemon zest, and baking powder in a bowl. Add melted butter and mix until well combined using your hands. Place 1/2 of mixture into the prepared baking dish and pat down to form a crust.
Mix sugar and flour in a bowl. Rub in lemon zest with your fingers. Add raspberries and lemon juice. Stir until raspberries are coated. Pour over crust and sprinkle raspberries with the remaining crumble mixture.
Bake until raspberry mixture is set, 40 to 45 minutes. Cool on a wire rack completely before cutting into 9 squares.
