So simple to make, you’ll be making a batch every week! I used Smucker’s raspberry jam with seeds. Because, raspberries are supposed to have seeds. But, you could use seedless raspberry jam, or any other flavor of jam you prefer. Raspberry streusel bars are so easy to make and have a delicious streusel topping. Try my S’more bars for a delicious summer dessert bar.
How to make Raspberry Oatmeal Bars:
Step 1: Cream together the brown sugar and softened butter. Scrape the bottom and sides of the bowl occasionally with a rubber spatula. ThermoWorks makes incredible spatulas. I love that they are able to go into the dishwasher, making life easy and it sanitizes them.
Step 2: Add the vanilla extract, rolled oats, flour, salt, and baking powder; stir to combine. Again scraping the bottom and sides of the mixing bowl with a rubber spatula.
Step 3: Press half of the mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan.
Step 4: Spread the jam over the bottom layer using a large spoon or rubber spatula. (I love ThermoWorks mini spatulas for getting jam out of the jar!)
Step 5: Crumble the remaining oatmeal mixture over the top of the raspberry jam layer.
Step 6: Bake in a preheated 350 degree F oven for 45-50 minutes, or until lightly browned and jam is bubbling. Cool completely before cutting into bars.

Do these need to be stored in refrigerator??
For a few days they are good on the counter. But in hotter months or for longer periods, I would suggest storing them in the fridge!
