🥘Ingredients and Substitutions
- Oats. Old-fashioned rolled oats or quick-cook oats will work for these raspberry crumble bars.
- Flour. I used all-purpose flour but gluten-free flour will be a great substitute.
- Maple syrup. Use real maple syrup, not artificial syrup. Honey or agave will are great options for a sweetener if you don't have syrup.
- Coconut oil. Ensure the coconut oil is melted.
- Raspberries. Frozen or fresh raspberries will work for this recipe.

📖Variations
- Switch up the fruit. You can use strawberries, blackberries, blueberries and even pitted cherries instead of the raspberries in these bars.
- Make them gluten-free. If needed, you can use gluten-free oats and flour for this recipe.
- Swap out the oil. If you don't have coconut oil, use avocado oil or another mild-flavored oil in its place.
🔪Instructions
Step 1: Add the crust ingredients to a bowl and mix everything until combined. Press into the bottom of the baking pan, saving some for the topping.
Step 2: Melt frozen raspberries in a microwave-safe bowl for 1-2 minutes until defrosted. Add the maple syrup and lemon juice to the bowl and use a potato masher or fork to mash the berries and mix the filling.
Step 3: Pour the raspberry filling into the pan.
Step 4: Crumble the remainder of the topping evenly over the top of the filling and bake until golden brown.
