Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Raspberry Oatmeal Crumble Bars
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare an 8x8-inch square pan with foil and cooking spray.
  2. Melt 1 cup of butter in a microwave-safe bowl for about 1 minute until melted.
  3. Combine 1/2 cup of granulated sugar and 1/2 cup of light brown sugar with the melted butter and add 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract, whisking until glossy.
  4. Stir in 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 2 cups of old-fashioned rolled oats, and a pinch of salt until just combined, reserving 1 cup for topping.
  5. Press the oat mixture evenly into the bottom of the pan to form a solid crust.
  6. Spread the raspberry preserves evenly over the crust, about 1/8 to 1/4 inch thick.
  7. Sprinkle the reserved crumble mixture on top of the raspberry preserves.
  8. Bake for about 30 minutes until the edges are set and the center is lightly golden.
  9. Allow the bars to cool on a wire rack for at least 2 hours before slicing.
