Instructions
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit so your bars cook evenly. Line a 9x13 inch baking dish with parchment paper.
In a food processor, pulse together the oats, flour, brown sugar, baking powder, and cinnamon until the oats are mostly ground. Add cold butter and pulse until crumbly dough forms. Add 1 tablespoon water if dry.
Press ⅓ of the dough into the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Bake 10 minutes or until lightly golden.
Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, toss raspberries with sugar, flour, vanilla, and lemon zest. Spoon berries over pre-baked crust. Dollop raspberry jam and add peach slices. Sprinkle remaining crumble dough overtop.
Return to oven; bake 30-40 minutes until the crumble is light golden brown and berries burst. Let cool completely before cutting into bars.
Notes
Store bars in an airtight container; they keep well at room temperature for a few days, or refrigerate for longer keeping. Freeze individually for even longer storage.
