I’m trying to make it a recurring theme to bring goodies to our weekly management meeting. It’s been going pretty well so far. It also reminds me to get in the kitchen–something I love to do, but don’t do nearly enough. For the past two years, I’ve been collecting recipes I want to try. This week’s treat was a good one, if I don’t say so myself! Raspberry crumb bars with a lemon glaze. Yes, it’s as it good as it sounds. Making a crumb bar was slightly intimidating for me, but it turned out to be fairly simple. I tweaked the original recipe that this is based on, including using whole-wheat flour to up the fiber!

Cook Time

For the bars
- 1 2/3 cups whole-wheat flour
- 2 tbsp water
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
- 5 tbsp butter, at room temp
- 3 tbsp brown sugar
- 2 tsbp granulated sugar
- 1 egg yolk
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- zest of 1 lemon
- 2/3 cup raspberry jam
For the lemon glaze
- 2/3 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- lemon zest
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees F and grease up a 8x8 baking pan or dish
- Combine flour, salt, and baking powder in small bowl
- In a larger bowl, mix butter and sugars until nice and smooth (you can use electric mixer if you want)
- Beat in the egg yolk, vanilla and lemon zest until mixed through
- Slowly add the flour mixture, pouring some of that water in between. It should resemble coarse crumbs
- Spread 2/3 of the batter into your dish and then spread the raspberry jam as evenly as you can across the whole thing (this can be tough as the crumble wants to stick to the jam and roll with it)
- Pour the rest of the batter on top of the jam layer
- Bake for 30-35 minutes until golden on the top
- While it bakes, make the glaze--just mix the powdered sugar, lemon juice and zest
- When the bars are done, let them cool for 10-15 minutes and then drizzle that delicious glaze! Allow it to set and you're done!
