Instructions

For the Crumble

Preheat the oven to 350F and line an 8x8” pan with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, oats, sugar, shredded coconut, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Add the melted butter and stir until a clumpy dough forms.
Firmly press half of the crumble mixture into the bottom of the pan in an even layer. Bake the crumble for 8 minutes while you prepare the raspberry layer.

For the Raspberry Layer

Add all of the ingredients (fresh raspberries, raspberry jam, granulated sugar, cornstarch, and lemon zest) to a medium bowl and mash them together. You want to break up the raspberries into large chunks and evenly distribute the cornstarch and lemon zest.
When the crust has par-baked, spread the raspberry jam mixture over the crust. Sprinkle the remaining crumble layer over the top of the raspberry jam.
Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the crumble is golden brown.
Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan. Once they're cooled, remove them from the pan using the parchment paper and slice into your desired size.

Notes

Line your baking dish with parchment paper for easier removal of your bars. It also makes clean-up easier.
Make sure to use old-fashioned oats, not quick cooking or steel cut.
The fresh raspberries and raspberry jam can be replaced with fresh strawberries and strawberry jam for a yummy alternative!
The flaked coconut can be omitted if you have an allergy or don't care for coconut.
Make sure to allow your Raspberry Oatmeal Bars to cool completely before lifting out of the pan with the parchment paper. They will cut much better and won't fall apart once they are completely cool.
Any leftover Raspberry Oatmeal Bars can be stored in an airtight container on the counter top for up to four days.
