Five Ingredient Raspberry Bars
These easy, buttery raspberry bars are made with just five ingredients for a delicious dessert or snack!
Ingredients
- - 1 cup unsalted butter melted
- - 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- - 2 cups all-purpose flour
- - 1/2 cup raspberry preserves
- - 1/2 cup fresh raspberries optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- In a large bowl, mix melted butter, sugar, and flour until a crumbly dough forms.
- Press 2/3 of the dough mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan to form a crust.
- Spread the raspberry preserves evenly over the crust. If desired, sprinkle fresh raspberries on top.
- Crumble the remaining dough over the raspberry layer to create a topping.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the raspberry layer is bubbly.
- Remove from the oven and allow the bars to cool in the pan for 15 minutes. Then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Notes
- Substitute raspberry preserves with any flavor of jam you like.
- For extra texture, add chopped nuts or oats to the crumb topping.
- Store bars in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
