raspberry bars

Raspberry Oat Bars

 

* ¾ C butter, softened

* 1 tsp salt

* 1 C light brown sugar

* ½ tsp baking powder

* 1 ½ C rolled oats

* ½ pint (1 cup) raspberries

* 1 ½ C all purpose flour

* 3 tbsp sugar

 

Preheat oven at 400 degrees and grease a 9x13 inch pan. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and brown sugar until smooth. Combine the oats, flour, salt and baking powder; stir in creamed mixture. Press half of the mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan. Crush the raspberries and mix with sugar; spread over the crust. Crumble the remaining crust mixture over the raspberry layer. Bake for 20-25 minutes in the preheated oven, or until light brown. Cool completely before cutting into bars. (Can be made with 10 oz. Raspberry Preserves instead of raspberries and sugar mixture)
