How to Make Raspberry Streusel Bars

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  6. In a separate bowl, gently toss the raspberries with the cornstarch and lemon juice.
  7. Spread half of the batter evenly in the prepared pan.
  8. Top with the raspberry mixture.
  9. In a medium bowl, combine the oats, almonds, and 1/2 cup of the sugar.
  10. Cut in the remaining 1/2 cup of softened butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  11. Sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over the raspberry layer.
  12. Bake for 50-55 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs attached.
  13. Let cool completely in the pan before cutting into bars.
