Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8-inch square pan with foil, lightly coat with cooking spray.
  2. Melt 1 cup of butter in a microwave-safe bowl for about 30 seconds, then whisk in ½ cup granulated sugar, ½ cup light brown sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. Add 1½ cups all-purpose flour, 1½ cups old-fashioned rolled oats, and a pinch of salt into the butter mixture and stir until a crumbly dough forms.
  4. Set aside 1 heaping cup of the oatmeal mixture for topping, then press the remaining mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan.
  5. Spread 1 cup raspberry preserves evenly over the crust.
  6. Sprinkle the reserved crumb mixture over the raspberry preserves and press down gently.
  7. Bake for about 30 minutes until the edges are set and slightly golden.
  8. Cool for at least 2 hours on a wire rack, then lift out using the foil and slice into squares.
