  • 3/4 cup butter at room temp
  • 1/2 cup organic sugar
  • 2 tsp organic vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 1/2 cup flour
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar

Jam Layer

  • 1 1/2 cup raspberry jam

  • 3/4 cup oatmeal
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup flour

  • preheat oven to 350. Place parchment paper in a 9x13 pan.

If it holds shape, it's ready.
  • Pour out crust crumbles and press evenly into the pan.
  • Place in preheated oven and bake for 12 minutes or until golden brown around the edges.
  • Remove from oven and immediately take jam and spread evenly over crust.
  • Assemble the topping. This can be done while the crust is cooking.
  • Melt butter on stovetop. While butter is melting, combine all other ingredients into a bowl. Drizzle melted butter over top and lightly toss together.
  • Sprinkle mixture evenly over jam.
  • Place back in oven, again at 350, for 15 minutes.
  • Removed and allow to cool completely. Cut into 2x2 squares and serve.
  • Keep at room temperature or in fridge for up to 3 days.
