These healthy raspberry oatmeal bars are a family and friend favorite. A perfect accompaniment to a summer BBQ or a spontaneous get-together.
I’ve been making these raspberry oatmeal bars for a few years now and they’ve quickly become my brother’s favorite. The unsweetened raspberry offers a tart bite surrounded by sweet oats. You’ll also get a tiny fiber boost from the whole wheat. These raspberry oatmeal bars will remind you of a portable fruit crumble! They’re also super customizable!

Steps
1
Pre-heat oven to 375ºF.
2

3
Combine all oatmeal layer ingredients into a bowl and mix well. The mixture should form somewhat of a crumbly dough.
4
Press 3/4 of the mixture into the bottom of a greased pan. I prefer a 8×8 pan but you can use something a little bigger if you want to base to be thin. Cook base for 15 minutes.

After the base has cooked, let it cool down slightly. Then after about 15 minutes, pour the raspberry mixture on top of the base and sprinkle the remaining crumble mixture on top..

After the base has cooked, let it cool down slightly. Then after about 15 minutes, pour the raspberry mixture on top of the base and sprinkle the remaining crumble mixture on top. Cook for another 30 minutes until the crust is golden brown.
