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-LEMON BARS



Raspberry-Lemon Bars image

My raspberry-lemon bars are perfect for summer and easy to make. I start with a shortbread crust, then double the lemon filling that you'll find in most recipes, adding lemon oil and zest for extra flavor. Then let them cool, dust with powdered sugar, and top with fresh summer raspberries. Also good served with fresh whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.

Time 1h10m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup all-purpose flour
½ cup unsalted butter, melted
⅓ cup powdered sugar
4 large eggs
¾ cup white sugar
6 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 teaspoons freshly grated lemon zest
½ teaspoon pure lemon extract
4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
¾ teaspoon baking powder
1 tablespoon powdered sugar, or as needed
1 ½ cups fresh raspberries

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Combine flour, melted butter, and powdered sugar in a bowl and stir to combine. Pat the dough into the bottom of an 8x8-inch square baking pan using your fingers. Prick the crust all over with a fork to keep it from rising in the oven.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until crust just starts to brown, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool.
  • Combine eggs, white sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest, and lemon extract in a mixing bowl. Beat until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is smooth. Whisk flour and baking powder together in a separate bowl, then add to the lemon mixture. Continue to beat until the lemon filling is smooth, about 2 minutes.
  • Pour the lemon filling on top of the pre-baked pastry crust.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the filling is set, 23 to 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool to room temperature, 20 to 30 minutes.
  • Cut into 6 bars, then dust with powdered sugar. Top each bar with fresh raspberries.

  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make your bars tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the bars until they are just set. The bars should be slightly soft in the center when you take them out of the oven. They will continue to set as they cool.
  • Chill the bars before serving. Chilling the bars will help them set and make them easier to cut.
  • Garnish the bars with fresh raspberries and citrus zest before serving. This will add a pop of color and flavor to your bars.
