Raspberry Crumble Bars

These raspberry crumble bars are delish and easy, with a homemade tangy raspberry filling, buttery base, and crumble topping.

Whisk together the dry ingredients in a large bowl - flour, oats, sugar, lemon zest, and baking powder.

Pour the melted butter into the mixing bowl.

Use a fork to combine it into a crumbly dough.

Press two-thirds of the crumb mixture into the bottom of an 8x8 pan to form the crust. Par-bake this.

In a medium saucepan, combine raspberries, sugar, lemon juice, zest, vanilla, cornstarch, and salt. Stir to combine.

Let the mixture come to a simmer, then boil for around 2 minutes, stirring continuously until it's thick and glossy.

Remove the par-baked base from the oven and dollop over the raspberry mixture,

Spread it out with the back of a spoon so it's evenly covered.

Crumble over the remaining third of the crumb mixture.

Bake until golden brown and bubbling, then cool completely before slicing.
