Description
A celebration of summer fruit, combining the honey-like sweetness of ripe peaches with the bright, tart pop of fresh raspberries. These bars feature a buttery, cinnamon-spiced oat crust and a golden crumble topping for an irresistible jammy treat.
Ingredients
Fruit Filling
- 3 cups fresh raspberries, 3 cups fresh peaches (peeled/chopped)
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar, 2 tbsp cornstarch
Crust & Crumble Mixture
- 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 cup old-fashioned oats
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 cup light brown sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon, 1/4 tsp kosher salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter (melted), 1 egg (beaten), 1 tsp vanilla
Instructions
Filling: Gently toss raspberries and peaches. Whisk 3/4 cup sugar and cornstarch together; stir into the fruit to coat.
Dough: Whisk flour, oats, both sugars, cinnamon, and salt. Add melted butter, egg, and vanilla; stir until the mixture holds together when pressed.
Assemble: Press 2/3 of the oat dough into a greased 13×9-inch dish. Spread fruit evenly on top. Crumble the remaining dough over the fruit.
Bake: Bake at 350°F for 40–45 mins until juices are bubbling and topping is golden brown.
Set: Cool completely in the pan before slicing to allow the filling to set for clean cuts.
Notes
Oat Choice: Use old-fashioned oats for structural integrity; quick oats will yield a mushy texture.
Cornstarch is Key: This acts as the binder for the juices; omitting it will result in watery bars that won’t hold their shape.
Peeling Hack: Blanch peaches in boiling water for 30 seconds then move to an ice bath to make skins slip off easily.
Storage: Store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days to maintain the freshness of the fruit.
