LEMON-RASPBERRY OATMEAL CRUMB BARS



Lemon-Raspberry Oatmeal Crumb Bars image

These delicious, easy-to-make bars are sweet and tangy with an oatmeal crust and crumble. I prefer a thicker crust, using 3/4 of the oatmeal mixture for the crust and 1/4 for the crumbles. Feel free to make a thinner crust, using 1/2 of the oatmeal mixture for the crust and the other 1/2 for the crumble.

Categories     Desserts     Fruit Dessert Recipes     Raspberry Dessert Recipes

Time 4h15m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 cooking spray (such as Pam®)
2 cups all-purpose flour
¼ cup brown sugar
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into 1-inch chunks
¾ cup seedless raspberry preserves
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, at room temperature
½ cup white sugar
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 large egg
1 large egg yolk
2 tablespoons lemon zest
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
1 (6 ounce) container fresh raspberries, cut in half lengthwise

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a 9x13-inch baking pan with aluminum foil, allowing some to extend over the edges. Spray foil with cooking spray to keep the filling from sticking to the sides. You'll use the overhang to lift the bars from the pan to cut them.
  • Process flour, brown sugar, and salt in the bowl of a food processor until blended. Add cold butter chunks and process until mixture resembles coarse cornmeal. Pour crust mixture into the prepared pan, shake it a bit to help even out the mixture, and press down gently with fingertips. Use a smaller pan, such as 8x8-inch, to press down the entire surface so the crust is smooth and tight.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 20 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes.
  • While the crust cools, heat jam in a microwave-safe bowl in a microwave just until warm, 30 to 60 seconds; stir until smooth.
  • Beat cream cheese with an electric stand mixer for 1 minute; add sugar and flour and beat until well blended. With mixture running, add egg, egg yolk, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Mix well until smooth.
  • Spread jam evenly over the cooled crust. Place raspberries, cut-side down, evenly over jam. Pour cream cheese mixture over berries and gently smooth mixture until it covers the entire pan.
  • Bake in the preheated oven just until set, 25 to 30 minutes. Cool for 1 hour at room temperature, then place in the refrigerator to cool for another 2 hours.
  • Gently lift cooled cheesecake from the baking pan using the foil overhang. Place on a cutting board, peel back edges of foil, and cut into 24 bars.

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.
