Raspberry Jam Crumble Bars

Plate of Raspberry Jam Crumble Bars
These gooey, crumbly Raspberry Jam Bars are tasty enough to eat for dessert but are hearty enough to make a great breakfast or afternoon snack. This bar brings together our deliciously sweet raspberry jam with a nice crunch of almonds and a hint of cinnamon in every bite. This easy treat has that bright raspberry flavor which gives the perfect amount of sweetness. Pair with some vanilla ice cream on top to enjoy this as a dessert on a warm summer day.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp baking powder
  • 1 stick butter, room temperature
  • 3/4 c packed light brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup + 1/4 cup sliced almonds
  • 3/4 cup Spread The Love® Raspberry Artisan Jam

Method

  • Step 1 -
    Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line an 8-inch square baking dish with parchment paper.
  • Step 2 -
    In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, oats, cinnamon, salt, and baking powder.
  • Step 3 -
    Using a stand mixer or handheld electric mixer, cream butter and sugars together until fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the egg and vanilla and mix well.
  • Step 4 -
    Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture one cup at a time, with the mixer on low speed. Continue until completely combined. Stir in 1/2 cup of the sliced almonds.
  • Step 5 -
    Press about two-thirds of the dough into the bottom of the prepared baking dish, using your hands to ensure an even bottom crust. Spread the jam directly on top of the bottom crust, using a spoon to spread evenly.
  • Step 6 -
    Gently stir 1/4 cup sliced almonds into the remaining dough. Drop remaining dough in small clumps on top of the jam to form the crumble topping.
  • Step 7 -
    Bake 25 - 35 minutes, or until the jam is bubbly and the top layer is golden brown. Let cool completely, lift out of the baking dish using the parchment paper, and cut into bars. Store in a sealed container for several days in the fridge, or freeze.

  • One of my favorite recipes because it uses one of my favorite foods – raspberry artisan jam (second to peanut butter of course)!! The ooey-gooey buttery taste of these bars, but the crunch of the almonds and oats paired together truly is a delight in my mouth!!
