What is a crumble bar?
A crumble bar is essentially taking a crumble or crisp recipe and turning it into a sliceable bar. Generally a “crisp” has an oaty topping on it, whereas a crumble generally has a topping that is a mix of butter, sugar, and flour. The topping pairs deliciously with baked fruit, like in this Healthy Apple Crisp and Healthy Strawberry Rhubarb Crisp.
For these Raspberry Crumble Bars, the topping texture is somewhere in between the two.
How to make Raspberry Crumble Bars
A few simple steps and you’ll be on your way to enjoying a batch of these delicious bars!
- Add the almond flour and oats and other dry ingredients to a mixing bowl

2. Add the wet ingredients to the bowl and mix together until crumbly

3. Using your hands, press 2/3 of the dough into the bottom of an 8×8 inch pan

4. Make the raspberry filling then pour it into the pan

5. Add the remainder of the crumble topping and bake

Fresh vs frozen raspberries
Both fresh and frozen raspberries work well for this recipe. In the summertime, I prefer to use fresh raspberries, but if you only have frozen raspberries those will work fine too.
Sometimes frozen raspberries may have a bit less flavour, or be a bit more tart, so taste the filling and add some extra sweetener if needed.
Tips for making perfect Raspberry Crumble Bars
- Use almond flour rather than almond meal (which has a finer texture) and will help the base of the bars bind together better.
- Use real maple syrup to sweeten, or substitute with another sticky sweetener like honey (for a non-vegan version) or agave.
- Let the bars cool completely before slicing into them, otherwise, they may break apart.

Hi, any good sub for the almond flour? We have some nut allergies in the household!
Hi Bea, you can use oat flour instead! To make it, simply blend oats in a food processor until fine.
I made these and the filling was still runny after baked. Any ideas on why?
Hi Amanda, it may be because of the raspberries used if they hold more liquid in them. They shouldn’t be runny afterwards. Some chia seeds or a spoon of cornstarch may help in the future to prevent this!
Hi,
These look amazing! My friend has just had her first bub by emergency c section and I want to make a whole heap of dinners and snacks that she can pull out of the freezer as needed. Would these freeze well?
Thanks
Hi Tash, yes you can freeze these! They may be a bit more crumbly though after defrosting
Do you know of a substitute for the coconut oil? Honestly it is in EVERYTHING it seems like and I am allergic.
If you can eat dairy butter will work perfectly in these!
These were amazing! I added some unsweetened coconut on top, cause I’m obsessed with Coconut, but this recipe is definitely going in rotation.
