Ingredients
- 2 1/4 cups + 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 1/2 cup + 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 cup butter melted
- 4 cups raspberries
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180C/350F. Line an 8-inch square pan with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine 2 1/4 cups flour, the oats, 1/2 cup of the sugar, and butter, and stir until a crumbly texture remains.
- Reserve a scant 1/2 cup of the mixture then transfer the rest of it into the lined pan. Press the mixture down into the pan until smooth. Poke holes in the crust, then bake for 15-17 minutes, or until golden.
- While the crust is baking, prepare the raspberry filling. In a small saucepan, add the raspberries and the remaining two tablespoons of sugar. Once it begins to boil, use a hand mixer or fork to break down the raspberries until smooth. Add in the remaining two tablespoons of flour and simmer for another minute before removing it from the heat.
- Once the crust is golden, remove it from the oven and spread the raspberry filling on top. Drop handfuls of the remaining crumb mixture over the top and bake for a further 20 minutes or until lightly golden.
- Remove the Bars from the oven and let them cool to room temperature. Once cool, refrigerate for at least an hour to further firm up.
- Once firm, slice into bars and glaze. To make the glaze, whisk together some confectioners' sugar and water.
