Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×8 pan with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, oats, sugars, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt until well mixed.
Cut the butter into cubes and add to the dry mixture. Using fingers, mix until it resembles a dough.
Once clumps form, add vanilla extract and combine into a dough. It may look like too much for the pan, but it's correct.
Scoop about 2/3 of the dough into the prepared pan, pressing it firmly to form the crust.
In a small bowl, combine filling ingredients to keep the raspberries from thawing until ready.
Spread raspberry filling over the crust, maintaining a small border around the edges.
Sprinkle the remaining crumble mixture over the top, lightly pressing it into the jam without flattening.
Bake for 30-40 minutes until the top is golden brown and the jam bubbles around the edges. Let cool for about 2 hours before chilling and cutting.

Notes

Use gluten-free oats for a gluten-free version.
Allow bars to cool completely before serving for better slicing.
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
