RASPBERRY CRUMBLE BARS



Raspberry Crumble Bars image

These Raspberry Crumble Bars are THE BEST! So soft, buttery, and delicious. My favorite summer dessert.

Provided by Lindsay

Categories     Dessert

Time 1h30m

Number Of Ingredients 11

two 12-ounce bags of frozen raspberries (see notes)
1/2 cup granulated sugar (more depending on tartness of your berries)
2 tablespoons flour
1 tablespoon cornstarch
juice of one lemon
3 cups rolled oats
3 cups flour
2 cups brown sugar (loosely packed)
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 1/2 cups melted butter (I prefer salted)
1/2 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Place raspberries in a large colander. Run warm water over them for a minute, and then let the liquid drain out for about an hour until softened and thoroughly drained (see notes). Mix raspberries with sugar, flour, cornstarch, and lemon juice.
  • Mix the oats, flour, sugar, baking powder, butter, and salt together into a crumble-like mixture. Press two thirds of the crumble into the bottom of a 9×13 pan lined with parchment paper. Bake for 10 minutes.
  • Arrange the raspberry layer on top of the baked bottom layer. Sprinkle with remaining crumble. Bake for another 25-30 minutes.
  • Remove from oven. They will need a little time to set up into "bar" formation, so chill them for a few hours to get them really solid. Orrrr... cut into it right away and eat it like a soft fruit crisp! You should be able to remove them from the pan easily by pulling up on the edges of the parchment paper.

Raspberry Streusel Bars image

Here are my simple raspberry streusel bars with four incredible flavors: a buttery shortbread crust, thick raspberry filling, brown sugar streusel, and a drizzle of sweet vanilla icing.

Provided by Sally

Categories     Bars

Time 3h20m

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, melted
1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour (spoon & leveled)
3/4 cup (240g) raspberry preserves*
12-16 fresh raspberries*
1/2 cup (40g) old-fashioned oats
1/3 cup (70g) packed light or dark brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 cup (31g) all-purpose flour (spoon & leveled)
1/4 cup (60g) unsalted butter, cold and cubed
optional (but encouraged!): vanilla icing for topping

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 300°F (149°C). Line the bottom and sides of an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving enough overhang on all sides. Set aside.
  • Stir the melted butter, granulated sugar, vanilla, and salt together in a medium bowl. Add the flour and stir until everything is combined. Press the mixture evenly into the prepared baking pan. Bake for 15 minutes.
  • Remove the crust from the oven, and turn the oven up to 350°F (177°C).
  • Spread preserves over warm crust. Dot the preserves with raspberries on top.
  • Whisk the oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, and flour together in a medium bowl. Cut in the chilled butter with a pastry blender or two forks (or even with your hands) until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Sprinkle the filling with streusel and bake for 30-35 minutes or until the streusel is golden brown. The raspberry filling should be bubbling on the edges.
  • Remove from the oven and allow to cool for at least 20 minutes at room temperature, then chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours (or overnight). Lift the foil or parchment out of the pan using the overhang on the sides and cut into bars. I usually cut them into 16 smaller bars, but you can cut them into 12 larger bars. Drizzle the bars with vanilla icing, if using. These raspberry bars can be enjoyed at room temperature or cold. I personally like them cold.

RASPBERRY CRUMBLE BARS

Categories     dessert

Time 1h

Yield 9 to 12 bars

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 pound (2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
3/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2-1/3 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
10 to 12 ounces good raspberry jam, such as Hero
2/3 cup good granola without dried fruit
1/4 cup sliced almonds
Confectioners' sugar, for sprinkling

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • Place the butter and sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment and mix on medium speed just until combined. With the mixer on low, add the vanilla.
  • Sift the flour and salt together and, with the mixer on low, slowly add to the butter mixture, mixing until it almost comes together in a ball. Turn the dough out on a board. Lightly pat two-thirds of the dough evenly on the bottom of a 9-inch square baking pan and about 1/4-inch up the sides. Spread with the jam, leaving a 1/4-inch border. Mix the granola into the remaining dough with your hands. Break the dough into small bits and distribute it on top of the jam, covering most of the surface. Sprinkle the almonds on top. Bake the bars for 45 minutes, until lightly browned.
  • Cool completely and cut into 9 or 12 bars. Sprinkle lightly with confectioners' sugar.

RASPBERRY NUTTER BUTTER BARS



Raspberry Nutter Butter Bars image

Reminiscent of a classic, a peanut butter and jelly sandwich minus the bread, these bars hit the spot with a little youthful nostalgia. A glass of cold milk is a great accompaniment. One 16-ounce package of Nutter Butter sandwich cookies pulsed in a food processor makes 4 cups of crumbs, which is exactly enough for one recipe.

RASPBERRY CAKE BARS



Raspberry Cake Bars image

Provided by Sandra Lee

Categories     dessert

Time 45m

Yield 16 squares

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 package (18-ounces) refrigerated sugar cookie dough, softened (recommended: Pillsbury)
3/4 teaspoon lemon extract
1/2 cup seedless raspberry jam
1/4 cup chopped pecans

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line an 8-inch square glass baking dish with enough foil so there is an overhang on 2 sides.
  • Mix the cookie dough with the lemon extract, kneading to combine. With damp fingers, press 2/3 of the dough into the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Spread the jam over the dough. Crumble the remaining dough evenly over the top of jam. Scatter the pecans over top. Bake until browned around the edges and cooked through in the center, about 35 minutes. Let cool in pan. Lift edges of foil to remove the bars. The bars are soft, so carefully cut into 2-inch squares or diagonally into pennant shapes.

Tips:

  • For a more intense raspberry flavor, use fresh black raspberries instead of frozen. If using fresh berries, be sure to wash and dry them thoroughly before using.
  • If you don't have a food processor, you can mash the raspberries with a fork or potato masher. Just be sure to mash them until they are very smooth.
  • Be sure to use unsalted butter in this recipe. Salted butter will make the bars too salty.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the bars tough.
  • Bake the bars until they are just set in the center. Overbaking will make them dry.
  • Let the bars cool completely before cutting them. This will help them hold their shape.

Conclusion:

These buttery black raspberry bars are the perfect summer treat. They're easy to make and packed with flavor. The raspberry filling is sweet and tart, and the buttery crust is perfectly flaky. Whether you're serving them at a potluck or enjoying them as a snack, these bars are sure to be a hit.
