Say hello to some of the most delicious bits of heaven you will ever eat… these raspberry crumble bars. They are HEAVENLY and just so incredibly moreish and scrumptious. <\/p>\n
So yeah, another traybake to add to my never ending roster of bakes that I am always in love with. Honestly, if you have followed me for a while you will know that a traybake related bake is one of my favourite things ever and that’ll never change. <\/p>\n
Traybake can come in many a form, such as brownies, blondies, cookie bars, flapjacks and so on. These raspberry crumble bars are a new one to add to the list of goodness.<\/p>\n
All of my traybake recipes, if I can help it, are made into a 9″ square tin<\/a>. This is for ease, and so that I reduce the amount of bits and bobs you need to buy! I always use this traybake tin<\/a>. <\/p>\n So we all know what a crumble is right? Its one of the most iconic classic things you can ever consume. I have varied crumble related bakes on my blog such as my apple crumble traybake, or even my apple crumble cupcakes.. but this one? Oh this is on another league. <\/p>\n It isn’t quite ‘crumble’ to the idea of a classic dessert – but its a crumble like oaty delicious mixture of ingredients that create the best base and topping for these bars. <\/p>\n The main part right? The raspberries! A delicious sweet and sharp mixture of heaven. I decided to not just add in some raspberries and hope for the best, and I didn’t just want to do a layer of jam as some recipes do… I wanted to level it up and make a mixture! <\/p>\n It may sound silly in the method, but honestly the best way I found to make this filling was to add the ingredients to a bowl and mash them slightly with a potato masher. It meant I still had texture, but everything had mixed in well enough. <\/p>\n As you can see from the photos there are layers to these raspberry crumble bars. It’s fairly simply though – a majority of the crumble mix goes into the lined 9×9″ square tin and you press it down firmly. I found 500g of the crumble mix was perfect for this layer after some experimenting with ratios. <\/p>\n Then, you top the base with the mashed raspberry mix and spread evenly, and then sprinkle over the rest of the crumble mix. This part of the crumble mix doesn’t need pressing down as it would turn into a raspberry mush. <\/p>\n For a bake like this, and basically any bake ever unless stated otherwise, you need a preheated oven. I have a fan oven so I bake at 180\u00bac on the fan setting, but if you have a regular oven it would be 200\u00bac. This is also as far as I am aware gas mark 6, or 400\u00baf if that helps – although I have never baked in a gas oven. <\/p>\n The temperature is slightly higher compared to other traybake recipes I have done, but you want the extra warmth to really start toasting and baking the crumble mix and it really helps. <\/p>\n The mixture can be slightly soft, so make sure the crumble mixture is turning wonderfully golden and beautiful before taking out of the oven. <\/p>\n So when it comes to making a bake like this, it is surprisingly easy, but there are ways to help make sure it works wonderfully. When making the crumble mix I simply use a large bowl, add the ingredients, and rub them together with my fingertips. This means you can still have the wonderful texture of the oats in the crumble without accidentally destroying them in a food processor or mixer.<\/p>\n For the raspberry mix, I genuinely just use another bowl and a potato masher – but a large spoon or fork works well, it just takes a bit longer. You don’t want to over mix this either as you want texture to the mixture. <\/p>\n As mentioned above, I use this traybake tin<\/a> as its the perfect size. <\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.janespatisserie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/RaspberryCrumbleBars1-2.jpg\")
