Preheat the oven to 350°F and line an 8”x 8” square baking pan with parchment paper.
To prepare the crumble mixture in a large bowl, mix together 2 cups finely ground blanched almond flour, 1 cup gluten-free rolled oats, ⅓ cup refined coconut oil, ⅓ cup + 2 tablespoons maple syrup and ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt. I like to use a rubber spatula or fork - don’t recommend an electric mixer.
Set aside 1 cup of the crumble mixture and press the remaining crumble into the prepared pan. Be sure to press the crumble tightly into an even layer.
Bake the crust for 8 minutes, just until lightly golden.
After par-baking the crust, remove from the oven.
Mix 1, 13-ounce jar raspberry preserves in its jar to make sure it’s spreadable, then pour all the jam onto the baked crust & spread into an even layer.
Sprinkle the top of the jam with the remaining 1-cup of crumble that was set aside earlier.
Bake about 35-40 minutes or until the crumble topping is a golden brown color.
Allow to cool for at least 30 minutes before slicing or storing in the fridge. Ideally, refrigerate for 2-4 hours for easy slicing.
Pull the sides of the parchment paper upwords to remove the entire bar from the pan. Then, place onto a cutting board & slice into 16 squares.

Raspberry preserves - Swap the raspberry preserves for any other flavored preserves or jam that you love, such as strawberry, mixed berry or any other.
Make ahead- Cover and store on the counter for 2 days. Alternatively, it can also be kept in the fridge for up to 1 week.
Freezer- These raspberry bars can be covered well with foil or plastic wrap and placed into a freezer-safe ziplock for up to 3 months. Let thaw in the fridge overnight.
You can easily double this recipe and bake it in a 9"x13" baking pan, and add an additional 5-10 minutes to the bake time.
Make bars into muffins - These bars can also be prepared in lined muffin tins. Reduce the bake time by 15-20 minutes since they make cook faster.
