Step‑by‑Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and coat an 8x8-inch baking pan with non-stick spray.
In a large bowl, combine all ingredients except for the raspberry preserves until well incorporated.
Press about ⅔ of the oat mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan.
Spread the raspberry preserves evenly over the base, leaving a ½-inch border.
Crumble the remaining ⅓ of the oat mixture on top of the raspberry layer, pressing down lightly.
Bake for 25-30 minutes until the top is lightly browned.
Let the bars cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before cutting into squares.
