Ingredients
  

For the Crust
  • 1/2 cup Butter, melted Can be replaced with a plant-based spread to make it vegan.
  • 1/2 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 1/4 cup Light Brown Sugar, packed Can be replaced with more granulated sugar if desired.
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 1 cup All-Purpose Flour Whole wheat flour can be used for a denser texture.
  • 3/4 cup Old-Fashioned Rolled Oats Avoid quick oats.
  • Pinch Salt Optional depending on preference.
For the Filling
  • 1 cup Raspberry Preserves Other fruit preserves can be used for variations.

Equipment

  • 8x8-inch baking pan
  • Microwave
  • mixing bowl
  • whisk

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare an 8x8-inch baking pan by lining it with foil or spraying it with cooking spray.
  2. Melt the butter in a microwave-safe bowl for about 1 minute. Whisk in the granulated sugar, light brown sugar, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
  3. Add the all-purpose flour, rolled oats, and a pinch of salt to the butter mixture, stirring gently. Reserve a heaping cup of this mixture for the topping.
  4. Press the remaining mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan to create an even layer.
  5. Spread the raspberry preserves evenly over the crust, covering it to the edges.
  6. Sprinkle the reserved crumb mixture generously over the raspberry filling, clumping some together for larger crumbs.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes until the edges are slightly set and golden.
  8. Remove from oven and allow to cool at room temperature for at least 2 hours before slicing.
