Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a 9"x 13" pan. If you prefer, you can also line the pan with parchment paper, and grease the paper.
- Whisk together the flour, salt, and baking soda. Stir in the oats. Set aside.
- Using an electric mixer on medium speed, beat the butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Reduce mixer speed to low. Gradually add the flour mixture, mixing just until combined. The mixture will be crumbly but should hold together when pinched.
- Set aside half of the crust mixture.
- Transfer the remaining crust mixture to the prepared pan, and press evenly into the bottom of the pan.
- Spread the raspberry preserves on top of the crust.
- Sprinkle the remaining crust mixture on top of the preserves.
- Bake 18 to 20 minutes, or until golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
- Cool the bars in the pan on a wire rack. Cut into bars for serving.
Notes
- Recipe slightly adapted from Southern Living.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature up to 5 days.
