Description

This lemon-raspberry oatmeal crumb bars recipe is easy-to-make with a sweet and tangy lemon and raspberry filling and an oatmeal crust and crumble top.

Ingredients

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup rolled oats
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
1 tablespoon lemon zest
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 cup butter, melted
1/4 cup white sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon lemon zest
2 cups fresh raspberries
2 tablespoons lemon juice

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease an 8x8-inch baking dish.
2 Combine 1 cup flour, oats, brown sugar, ½ cup white sugar, 1 tablespoon lemon zest, and baking powder in a bowl. Add melted butter; mix, using your hands, until well combined. Place ½ oat crumble mixture in the prepared baking dish; pat down to form a crust. Set aside remaining ½ oat crumble mixture.
3 Combine ¼ cup white sugar and 1 ½ tablespoons flour in a bowl; rub in 1 tablespoon lemon zest with your fingers. Add raspberries and lemon juice; gently stir until raspberries are coated. Pour raspberry filling over crust; sprinkle with remaining ½ oat crumble mixture.
4 Bake in the preheated oven until raspberry filling is set, 40 to 45 minutes. Cool on a wire rack completely before cutting into 9 squares.
