Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 F (175 C) and line an 8"x8" pan with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine the flour, oats, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt until mixed well.
Cut the butter into small cubes and add to the dry mixture. Use your fingers to mix until the dough starts to come together.
Drizzle vanilla extract over the dough and mix until fully combined, creating a dough that appears abundant for an 8"x8" pan.
Press about 2/3 of the dough into the bottom of the prepared pan to form the crust.
In a separate bowl, mix the filling ingredients to ensure the raspberries remain firm.
Spread the raspberry filling over the crust, leaving about 1/3" border around the edges to prevent leakage.
Sprinkle the remaining crumble mixture over the top of the jam, lightly pressing it down.
Bake for 30-40 minutes until golden brown and bubbling, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely for about 2 hours before chilling for 2-3 hours or overnight before slicing.
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze sliced bars for up to 3 months.

Notes

Use gluten-free oats to make the recipe gluten-free.
Feel free to substitute the raspberry jam with other fruit jams that pair well with raspberries.
Let the bars cool completely for the best texture before cutting them.
