Easy Raspberry Crumble Bars Made With Fresh Milled Flour

These quick and easy Raspberry Crumble Bars made with fresh milled flour are so delicious, and fresh! Originally I wanted to serve these cold as a Bar dessert, but when I pulled them out of the oven, there was no holding my family back! We dug in right away, and Oh My Goodness, they were so good! So, if you want to attempt to make these as a cold bar recipe, I wish you the best of luck to hold everyone off. So, when served warm, it is more of a Raspberry Crisp or Raspberry Crumble, I guess sort of like a pie, but not! lol

How To Make A Quick & Easy Fresh Milled Flour Dessert

I am loving this recipe, because it is so quick and easy to throw together on a busy night! No kneading, no rising, no par-baking, and no mixer needed! I love when I find a successful fresh milled flour recipe that I can whip up in no time with little effort. I don’t always have the time to make a yeast or sourdough recipe. So, this recipe is now in my permanent tool box of recipes when I need to get some whole grain into my family, but have very little time to do it.

Also, I think this would make a wonderful topping crumbled over yogurt to make a parfait, or served over ice cream! I love thinking of new ways we can incorporate fresh milled flour and whole grains into our diets!

What Other Fruit Would Work In This Fresh Milled Flour Crumble Recipe, Other Than Raspberry?

So, if you want to stick to the original recipe, then you can use fresh or frozen Raspberries. However, if you want to get creative and change it up, then just think about what fruits are in season. This same recipe can be changed so easily with just switching out the fruit, or even adding different spices.

So, let’s think of some flavor ideas together…

• Blackberries: Blackberries have a similar tartness to raspberries and would complement the flavor nicely.
• Blueberries: Blueberries have a sweeter flavor compared to raspberries, so they can add a nice contrast to the tartness.
• Strawberries: Strawberries are slightly sweeter as well and would provide a pleasant sweetness to balance the tartness of the raspberries.
• Peaches: Peaches have a wonderful juiciness and natural sweetness that can elevate the flavor profile of your bars.
• Apricots: Apricots have a unique and slightly tangy flavor that can add an interesting twist to the bars.
• Cherries: Cherries, whether sweet or tart, can bring a burst of flavor and color to your bars.
• Mixed Berries: A combination of raspberries, blackberries, blueberries, and/or strawberries can create a medley of flavors and colors.
• Apples: Apples, depending on which variety you choose can be sweet or a bit sour.

When incorporating different fruits, consider their texture, juiciness, and sweetness levels. Some fruits might release more moisture during baking, which could affect the texture of your bars. To avoid overly watery bars, make sure adjust the amount of thickener (cornstarch or potato starch) when combining the fruit filling.

Remember to taste your fruit mixture to adjust the sweetness if needed. Also, make sure to adjust the baking time as needed if you’re using fruits that have different moisture content.

Overall, feel free to get creative with your fruit choices and enjoy the process of experimenting with flavors!
