Mix dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, oatmeal, brown sugar, baking soda, and salt. Mix them well until evenly incorporated.
-
Incorporate butter: Cut the unsalted butter into the dry ingredients mixture until it becomes crumbly. This step might require a bit of patience, but trust me, it’s worth it!
-
Layer the crust: Take half of the crumb mixture and press it firmly into the bottom of a greased 13×9-inch baking pan. Ensure it forms an even layer across the bottom.
-
Bake crust: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake the crust for about 10 minutes. Once done, remove it from the oven and allow it to cool slightly.
-
Prepare raspberry layer: While the crust is cooling, increase the oven temperature back to 325°F (163°C). In a small bowl, mix the raspberry jam with lemon juice until well combined.
-
Spread raspberry mixture: Carefully spread the raspberry jam mixture over the cooled crust, ensuring an even layer.
-
Add remaining crumbs: Sprinkle the remaining crumb mixture evenly over the raspberry layer. Then, gently press the crumbs into the jam layer.
-
Final baking: Return the pan to the oven and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes or until the top is light golden brown and the raspberry filling is bubbling around the edges.
-
Cool and serve: Once baked to perfection, remove the raspberry bars from the oven and allow them to cool completely in the pan before slicing them into bars.
These delightful raspberry bars are best served at room temperature and are guaranteed to be a hit with your dad and everyone else lucky enough to taste them! Enjoy the sweet, tangy, and buttery goodness with each bite. 🍇🍰
