Raspberry Oatmeal Bars

One of the recipe cards that I got from my Grandma was for Raspberry Oatmeal Bars. The recipe is scribbled on one side of an index card, and the handwriting is atrocious but in the upper left hand corner in bright pink ink she has written “fast! good!”
And as I trust my Grandma’s notes, I decided this recipe needed to be made immediately. And lo and behold (because she’s usually right) these were indeed fast and good. So good I made them a second time. And then a third.
These come together in just a few minutes, and only take 5 ingredients, most of which are pantry staples, and one of which is water. That’s how easy these are.
Tips for Raspberry Bars:
- Try to vary the size of the crumbs – it just looks better, and has a better texture that way.
- If raspberries aren’t your thing, I’m sure this would work with any type of jam.
- Make sure to let them cool all the way before cutting, or it will be a mess.
- I’ve made these with both “fancy” jam and just regular store bought jam, and honestly, the store bought version was better. This is not a fancy dessert. This is a weeknight dessert if there ever was one. A good thing to take to a bake sale. But it doesn’t need to be anything it’s not.
- These are perfect with a scoop of vanilla ice cream but they hold up super well on their own, too.

Confused about first instruction...”cut into bars”?
Made these! I used grocery store strawberry jam on the first run, and the second was blackberry jam. Both gobbled down by my co workers and bubble buddy group. Quick and easy and minimal effort just as you stated. Going to try fig on the next batch. Thanks for sharing!
