Oatmeal Bars are a fruity, nutty, buttery dessert that are always first to disappear at any gathering! This recipe came about as I was rooting through the pantry one night, craving something sweet. I found a can of raspberry pie filling and some coconut, along with a similar recipe on the Betty Crocker website. So I made a few adjustments to my liking and I was surprised when they turned out way better than I hoped! Now these treats are some of the most requested at family gatherings. If you enjoy a hearty cookie you will absolutely love these oatmeal bars!
Ingredients
All- purpose flour Quick cooking oats Brown sugar – packed Macadamia nuts – chopped, optional Shredded coconut Salt Baking soda Butter – melted Raspberry pie filling Cinnamon
Suggestions for these Raspberry Oatmeal Bars
These bar cookies are sinfully delicious right out of the oven, but my family actually things they’re best the next day after they have cooled and are nice and chewy. My husband actually likes them cold. My point is, there is no wrong way to eat these oatmeal bars! If you don’t have raspberry pie filling on hand, try cherry, blueberry or even peach pie filling. They’re all delicious! I didn’t toast my coconut the first few times I made this recipe, so don’t feel like you need to do this step every time. But you can definitely toast it and it adds just another layer of flavor. You can use shredded coconut or flaked, whichever you have on hand. Of course, the star of the show is oatmeal. Use quick cooking oats for this recipe. And if you like oats, try our famous Butterscotch Oatmeal Cookies. So delicious! Serve these cookie bars alone or warmed up with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream. YUM!
