Ingredients

Scale

1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour
1/4 cup (50g) brown sugar
Pinch of salt
1/2 cup (113g) cold unsalted butter
3/4 cup (200g) raspberry jam
1/2 cup (60g) rolled oats
1/4 cup (50g) brown sugar
1/2 cup (125g) all-purpose flour
1/4 cup (57g) cold butter
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup (50g) brown sugar, and a pinch of salt. Cut in 1/2 cup (113g) cold unsalted butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Press this mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan.
Spread 3/4 cup (200g) raspberry jam evenly over the crust.
In another bowl, combine 1/2 cup (60g) rolled oats, 1/4 cup (50g) brown sugar, 1/2 cup (125g) all-purpose flour, and 1/4 cup (57g) cold butter. Cut the butter into the mixture until crumbly. Stir in 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract.
Sprinkle the crumble mixture evenly over the jam layer.
Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the jam is bubbling slightly.
Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan before slicing into squares.

Notes

For best results, use cold butter to achieve the perfect texture for the crust and crumble. Line the baking dish with parchment paper for easy removal. Allow the bars to cool completely before slicing to ensure clean cuts.
