Ingredients
  

For the raspberry filling:

2 cups frozen raspberries

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1 tablespoon cornstarch

1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice

For the crumble topping:

1 1/2 cups rolled oats

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup shredded unsweetened coconut

1/2 cup packed brown sugar

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted (plus additional for greasing)

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Instructions
 

Prepare the Baking Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Take an 8x8 inch square baking pan and grease it thoroughly with a little butter. Line the bottom and sides with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on two sides. This will make it easier to lift the bars out later.

    Create the Raspberry Filling: In a medium saucepan set over medium heat, combine the frozen raspberries, granulated sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice. Gently stir the mixture as it heats. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the raspberries have softened and the mixture has thickened slightly. Remove from heat and let it cool for a few minutes.

      Prepare the Crumble Topping: In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, all-purpose flour, shredded coconut, brown sugar, baking soda, and salt. Mix the dry ingredients thoroughly to ensure even distribution. Then, pour in the melted butter and vanilla extract. Stir well until the mixture is crumbly and well combined.

        Assemble the Bliss Bars: Take about two-thirds of the crumble mixture and press it firmly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan to create an even crust. Next, carefully spread the raspberry filling over the crust in an even layer. Finally, sprinkle the remaining crumble mixture evenly over the raspberry layer, ensuring it completely covers the filling.

          Bake the Bars: Place the assembled pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes. The top should become golden and the raspberry filling should start to bubble around the edges.

            Cool and Slice: Remove the baking pan from the oven and allow the bars to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack for about an hour. Once cooled, use the parchment overhang to lift the bars out of the pan. Cut them into squares or rectangles according to your preference.

              Serve and Enjoy: These delightful bars can be enjoyed warm or chilled. For an extra treat, serve them with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream on the side. Any leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
