Gluten-Free Raspberry Crumb Bars
12 servings
Gluten-free raspberry bars! Brown sugar oat crumble and homemade raspberry filling are a match made in heaven. This is one of my favorite summer desserts!The trick with this recipe is to use frozen raspberries instead of fresh. Also add 1 tablespoon of gluten-free flour to the filling. With these tricks the raspberry layer turns out perfect every time!
Ingredients
Raspberry Filling:
- 12 ounces frozen raspberries
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon gluten-free 1:1 baking flour
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Oatmeal Crumble:
- 1 ½ cups (128g) gluten-free rolled oats
- 1 ¼ cups (188g) gluten-free 1:1 baking flour
- 1 cup (210g) brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup (170g) salted butter, melted
Instructions
Make the Oatmeal Crumble
- Preheat the oven to 350F. Line an 8x8 or 9x9 baking pan with parchment. Lightly spray with cooking spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the oats, gluten-free flour, brown sugar, baking powder, salt and butter with a fork into a crumble-like mixture.
- Press ⅔ of the mixture into the bottom of the prepared baking pan. Bake for 10 minutes.
Make the Raspberry Filling
- Place raspberries in a medium, microwave-safe bowl. Microwave until just thawed, 2-3 minutes, stirring halfway through.
- Drain any excess liquid off the raspberries and return to the bowl.
- Add the sugar, gluten-free flour, cornstarch, and lemon juice and mix to combine.
Assemble/Bake
- Pour the raspberry mixture on top of the baked bottom crust. Sprinkle with remaining crumble.
- Bake for another 25-30 minutes, until golden and bubbly.
- Let the bars cool completely before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
Notes
RECIPE NOTES
- I find frozen raspberries work even better than fresh raspberries in this gluten-free raspberry bars recipe. You want to drain off the extra liquid after thawing the raspberries so the filling will set.
- Be sure to use certified gluten-free oats to keep these bars gluten-free. I prefer the texture of rolled oats for these gluten-free raspberry bars.
- Use a high-quality 1:1 gluten free flour blend that contains xanthan gum. It gives you a much better texture with these gluten-free bars!
- For dairy-free bars: Replace butter with vegan butter (dairy-free butter), and follow the rest of the recipe as usual.
