Raspberry Crumble Bars
I need to make a confession. I look for any opportunity to make oat crumble. The combination of oats, brown sugar and butter – they all work together to make something sweet, crunchy, and totally delicious.
So, after I picked a bunch of raspberries at Millar Berry Farms, I knew that I was going to make some sort of raspberry crumble. These are quite similar to the way that I make apple crisp, but, the middle is with raspberries instead of apples.
Mixing the fresh berries with a little flour and sugar turn the middle into something similar to a fruit pie filling.
These crumble bars have a wonderful combination of sweet and tang. Once made, they can be cut and then frozen for a couple months. That is a great way to store them if they do not all get eaten right away. They are that good!
I love raspberries and have made many different recipes featuring these delicious tart berries. Here are some other great raspberry recipes.
