Raspberry Oatmeal Bars

These easy Raspberry Oatmeal Bars, are one of those easy-peasy recipes that's perfect when unexpected guests come for coffee.

One of the first cookie bar I ever made on my own as a child.

My dad and I would hardly leave a crumb for anyone else, they were just so delicious.

Raspberry was one of our all-time favorite flavors and these were quick to make in no time.

Here over 30 years later of making them, they're now a favorite of my grandkids.

It really is such an easy recipe and you can change the flavor jam to whatever you love.

I have done these with fig jam, blueberry, and cherry, and the favorite always comes back to raspberry.

You can't go wrong with these raspberry oatmeal bars. Come to take a look I promise you will love these and make them time and time again!

Quick and Easy to make!

One of the easiest dessert bars you can bake. These are so delicious and the kids love them (psst so do the adults).


I love how simple these are and quick to make, plus they take just a few ingredients you may have to lay around the pantry!


If not you will soon make sure you are stocked up to make these anytime.


I remember coming home from school and wanting a treat. Mom worked full time.


Back in the 1960s, mom always had a homemade from-scratch cookie or bar in our wagon wheel cookie jar.


That was a huge inspiration to learn how to bake at an early age just watching how easy she made it look


At age 11 years old I got my first Better Homes and Gardens cookbook.

Raspberry Anything Is A Favorite

Dad and I loved raspberry in anything that was a dessert.


We would often share a raspberry pie together, I loved when he brought one home from the bakery back then.


I learned how to make a fresh raspberry pie, in later years that he loved.


Dad grew fresh raspberries and boysenberries in the garden and made the best homemade pies with them!

Tips

• Use any kind of flour
• Substitute 1 teaspoon molasses added to white sugar if you don't have brown sugar
• Add more or less cinnamon to taste or even allspice in the crust
• Pecans finely crushed can be added for a nutty crunch
• Cooking these longer will make the crunchier oatmeal bar
• Use 1/4 cup less jam if you want more crust/less jam filling
• All-natural jams and sugar-free work fine
• Only use seedless jam and any flavor works(IE strawberry, blueberry, cherry, and apple)
• Use butter not margarine
• omit the oil if using the other fine flours like oatmeal and almond flour
