Ingredients
- All-purpose flour – 2 cups

- Butter melted – 1 cup
- Salt – ½ teaspoon
- Baking powder – 1 teaspoon
- Vanilla extract – 1 teaspoon
- Raspberry jam – 1 cup
- Fresh raspberries – 1 cup
Instructions
Prepare the Baking Pan
- Line the baking pan with parchment paper. Press it well into the corners for clean edges.
Mix the Dry Ingredients
- Add flour, sugar, baking powder and salt to a bowl. Whisk until the mix looks even.
Add the Melted Butter
- Pour melted butter into the dry mix. Stir well until crumbs form and the texture feels sandy.
Press Half the Crumbs
- Place half the crumb mix in the pan. Press it down firmly to form a strong base layer.
Spread the Raspberry Jam
- Add raspberry jam on top of the base. Spread gently so the layer stays smooth and even.
Add Fresh Raspberries
- Place fresh raspberries over the jam. Spread them so every bite has sweet berry flavor.
Add Remaining Crumbs
- Sprinkle the rest of the crumb mix on top. Do not press too much to keep the crumble texture.
Bake the Squares
- Bake the pan at 350°F for thirty-five minutes. The top should look golden brown and crisp.
Cool Before Cutting
- Let the bars cool fully. Cut them gently into squares when firm and easy to slice.
Notes
- Use fresh raspberries for strong flavor.
- Melt butter fully for smoother crumbs.
- Keep the jam layer thin for cleaner slices.
- Let the bars cool fully before cutting.
- Add a little lemon zest for a bright flavor.
