Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. and wash and dry the raspberries.
Line the bottom of an 8x8 baking pan with parchment paper, foil, or cooking spray.
To make the crust & crumble, place the whole wheat flour, regular oats, honey, brown sugar, ground nutmeg, and salt in a large bowl and mix. Stir in melted butter and vanilla until just combined. The mixture should be a little dry and crumbly. Reserve 1 cup of the mixture; this will be your crumble topping.
Add the oat mixture to the prepared baking pan—press mixture into the bottom of the pan in an even layer.
Mash fresh raspberries and then spread over oat mixture.
Evenly sprinkle the remaining crumble mixture over the top of the raspberries.
Bake the bars for 30 minutes or until golden brown. Remove the bars from the pan with the parchment paper and cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Cut and enjoy!

Notes

Recipe Tips: This recipe is best if you use old-fashioned oats, not instant oats. We like using the healthy option of whole wheat flour, but regular all-purpose flour also works.
To Store: Layer the bars between waxed paper in an airtight container. Keep in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Bring back to room temperature before serving.
Make Ahead & Freezing Instructions: The bars will stay fresh in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 5 days before baking. You can freeze the bars for up to 3 months. Thaw them overnight in the refrigerator before serving and glazing.
