Tips for Making These Bars
Use Quality Raspberry Jam: The jam is the star of the show, so make sure to use a good quality raspberry jam. If you have fresh raspberries, you can also make your own jam for an even fresher taste.
Don’t Overmix the Dough: When combining the dry ingredients with the coconut oil, mix until just combined. Overmixing can make the bars tough instead of crumbly and tender.
Line Your Baking Pan: Use parchment paper to line your baking pan. This makes it much easier to remove the bars once they’re baked and ensures they don’t stick to the pan.
Spread Jam Evenly: Use a spatula to spread the raspberry jam evenly over the crust. This ensures that every bite has a perfect balance of oats and raspberry flavor.
Keep an Eye on Baking Time: Check the bars a few minutes before the recommended baking time is up. You want the top to be golden brown but not too dark. Ovens can vary, so keep a close watch to avoid overbaking.
Cool Completely Before Cutting: It’s tempting to dive right in, but let the bars cool completely in the pan before cutting them. This helps them set properly and makes slicing easier.
