LEMON CRUMB BARS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Line an 8x8 pan with foil or parchment paper (leaving overhang on two sides for easy removal). Spray with nonstick spray.
• In a medium bowl, combine, flour, oats, salt and baking soda.
• In a large bowl, whisk butter, brown sugar and vanilla until well combined (this will take at least one full minute). Add dry ingredients and stir with a rubber spatula or wooden spoon until combined.
• Pull out about ¾ cup (a little less than half) of the dough and set that portion aside (it will be the topping). Dump the remaining dough into the prepared pan and press it down into a flat even layer (it will be very buttery, that's ok). Bake for 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, whisk all filling ingredients until combined. After the crust has baked for 10 minutes, pour the filling over the crust. Gently spread into an even layer. Be careful, the crust underneath will be soft and undercooked, you don't want to break it. Crumble the reserved dough over the filling and return to the oven for 17-20 minutes, until the top is light golden brown and the filling is set. Place the pan on a wire rack to cool completely.

• Bake crust in the preheated oven for 10 minutes.
• While crust bakes, prepare filling: Mix together white sugar, eggs, lemon juice, lemon zest, 2 tablespoons flour, baking powder, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt in a large bowl until well combined.
• Remove crust from oven and scatter raspberries evenly over top. Pour filling evenly over the raspberries, then sprinkle reserved 1/2 cup crumb mixture randomly over top.
• Place pan back into the oven and bake until bars are set, 20 to 25 minutes. Allow bars to cool completely in the pan, 30 to 45 minutes. Use the parchment overhang to remove from the pan and cut into 9 bars.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• In a medium bowl, blend together softened butter, 2 cups flour and 1/2 cup sugar. Press into the bottom of an ungreased 9x13 inch pan.
• Bake for 15 to 20 minutes in the preheated oven, or until firm and golden. In another bowl, whisk together the remaining 1 1/2 cups sugar and 1/4 cup flour. Whisk in the eggs and lemon juice. Pour over the baked crust.
• Bake for an additional 20 minutes in the preheated oven. The bars will firm up as they cool. For a festive tray, make another pan using limes instead of lemons and adding a drop of green food coloring to give a very pale green. After both pans have cooled, cut into uniform 2 inch squares and arrange in a checker board fashion.
