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 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.

I love raspberry and almonds together! I adapted this recipe from one I found on America's Test Kitchen. Toasting the nuts adds great flavor so don't skip this step. This recipe is easily doubled and would then be made in a 15" jelly roll pan.

Categories     Bar Cookie

Time 1h5m

Yield 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1 1/4 cups oats
1/3 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
1/3 cup light brown sugar, packed
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup toasted almond, finely chopped (pecans or walnuts are good too)
12 tablespoons butter, cut into 12 pieces and softened but still cool
1 cup raspberry preserves (or what ever flavor strikes your fancy, SEE NOTE)

Steps:

  • Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees, spray a 9x13" pan with nonstick cooking spray, you may also line the pan with foil with extra hanging over for easier removal, spray foil.
  • In mixer bowl, mix flour, oats, sugars, extract, baking soda, salt, and nuts at low speed until combined, about 30 seconds. With mixer running at low speed, add butter pieces; continue to beat until mixture is well-blended and resembles wet sand, about 2 minutes.
  • Transfer 2/3 of mixture to prepared pan and use hands to press crumbs evenly into bottom, bake until starting to brown, about 20 minutes.
  • Using rubber spatula spread preserves evenly over hot bottom crust; sprinkle remaining oat/nut mixture evenly over preserves; bake until preserves bubble around edges and top is golden brown, about 30 minutes, turn pan halfway through baking time.
  • Cool on wire rack then remove from pan using foil handles, cut into squares.
  • NOTE:.
  • After reading the first reviews for this, I realized the jam I used is lower sugar than many jams (9 gms per TBLS) It would be worth it to find a type that isn't overly sweet or try adding a little lemon juice to cut the sweetness.

RASPBERRY PIE CRUNCH BARS



Raspberry Pie Crunch Bars image

These raspberry crumble bars have all the buttery, jammy, brown sugary charms of a raspberry crumb pie. But they're a whole lot easier to serve at a large gathering and picnics, and can be eaten out of hand. You can make them a day or two before and store them in the fridge.

Provided by Melissa Clark

Categories     cookies and bars, dessert

Time 2h

Yield 24 squares

Number Of Ingredients 19

Unsalted butter, at room temperature, for greasing the pan
2 cups/250 grams all-purpose flour
¾ cup/150 grams granulated sugar
¾ teaspoon fine sea salt
1 cup/226 grams cold unsalted butter, cut into 1-inch chunks
1 ⅓ cups/167 grams all-purpose flour
⅔ cup/60 grams rolled oats
½ cup/107 grams dark brown sugar
½ cup/58 grams coarsely chopped pecans, walnuts or almonds
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
¼ teaspoon fine sea salt
½ cup/113 grams unsalted butter, melted
5 cups/about 710 grams raspberries, fresh or frozen (no need to thaw them)
¼ cup/50 grams granulated sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 ½ teaspoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 teaspoon lemon zest
Pinch of kosher salt
1/3 cup/110 grams raspberry jam

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9-by-13-inch baking dish, and line with parchment paper so that there is a 2-inch overhang on the two long sides.
  • In a food processor, pulse together flour, sugar and salt. Add butter and pulse to fine crumbs. Pulse a few more times until some of the crumbs start to come together, but don't overprocess; the dough should be somewhat crumbly. (You can also mix the dough in a bowl using two knives or a pastry cutter.)
  • Press dough into an even layer in the prepared pan. Prick dough all over with a fork. Bake until golden, 30 to 35 minutes. Transfer to a rack. You can bake the crust up to 6 hours ahead, or use it while it's still hot.
  • To prepare the filling, in a mixing bowl, gently toss together raspberries, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice and zest, and salt.
  • While the crust is baking, make the crumb topping: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, oats, brown sugar, pecans, nutmeg and salt. Stir in melted butter, pinching the mixture with your fingers, to make 1/2-inch crumbs.
  • Using the back of a spoon, an offset spatula or a pastry brush, spread jam in an even layer on top of the crust, going all the way to the edges. Evenly spread raspberry mixture on top of jam. Sprinkle the crumb topping over the raspberry layer, keeping some larger clumps.
  • Bake until the topping is golden brown and the filling is slightly bubbling along the sides, 35 to 45 minutes. Transfer to a rack to cool completely.
  • To serve, use a sharp knife to release edges. Using parchment overhang, lift and transfer to a cutting board and cut into 24 squares.

Tips:

  • Use fresh or frozen raspberries for the best flavor.
  • If using frozen raspberries, thaw them completely before using.
  • Gently fold the raspberries into the batter to avoid breaking them up.
  • Do not overmix the batter, as this will result in a tough texture.
  • Bake the squares until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Allow the squares to cool completely before cutting and serving.
  • Dust the squares with powdered sugar before serving for a finishing touch.

Conclusion:

Raspberry squares are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. With their sweet and tart flavor and their moist and tender texture, these squares are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. Whether you are looking for a simple dessert to serve at a party or a special treat to enjoy with your family, these raspberry squares are the perfect choice.
