Steps

1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line an 8" square pan with aluminum foil and spray with cooking spray; set aside.
2

In large microwave safe bowl, add butter and heat in microwave for 1 minute to melt.
3

Add sugars, vanilla, and whisk to combine.
4

Add flour, oats, salt, and stir to combine. Mixture will have some larger, well-formed crumble pieces as well as some sandier, dryer bits. Set 1/3 of mixture aside for later.
5

Transfer remaining mixture to prepared pan, and using spatula or your fingers, hard-pack the mixture to create an even, smooth, flat crust.
6

Evenly spread the raspberry preserves over the crust making sure there's complete coverage.
7

Evenly sprinkle with the reserved heaping cup crumble topping mixture.
8

Bake for about 30-35 minutes or until edges are set and center has just set and is lightly golden browned. Place pan on a wire rack and allow bars to cool for at least 2 hours before slicing and serving.
