What you'll need

- One mixing bowl: A medium bowl will allow you to easily make the raspberry mixture.
- Wooden spoon or spatula To mix the ingredients in the raspberry filling.
How to make
Detailed ingredient measurements, instructions, and notes can be found on the printable recipe card at the bottom of the page. Here is a quick summary:
1. Preheat oven and prepare the baking dish. Preheat oven to 350° F. Line an 8-inch square baking dish with parchment paper and grease with coconut oil.
2. Make the crumble topping. In a food processor, pulse rolled oats, flour, brown sugar, baking soda, and salt. Add coconut oil and pulse to create a crumbly texture.
Measure 1 cup of the oat mixture and set aside. Using your hands, spread and press down the remaining mixture onto the bottom of the baking dish. Bake for 10 minutes.
3. Prepare the filling. While the crust is baking, prepare the filling. In a separate medium-sized bowl, combine the raspberries, lemon juice, maple syrup, flour, cornstarch, and vanilla extract. Mix well.
4. Assemble the crumble. Remove crust from the oven and spoon the raspberry filling over the crust, using a spatula to evenly spread and fill the corners. Evenly crumble the remaining oat mixture over the top.
5. Bake. Bake for 35 minutes or until the top begins to turn golden brown.
6. Cool and serve: Remove the bars from the oven and place them on a rack until completely cooled. Gently remove from the pan by picking up the parchment paper and cut into squares.
Storing for later
Place in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
