Ingredients
  

For the Base and Topping
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, cubed
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup almond flour
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¾ cup raspberry jam
  • ½ cup sliced almonds for topping

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, beat the cubed butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy.
  3. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, almond flour, and salt.
  5. Gradually incorporate the flour mixture into the butter mixture until just combined.
Baking
  1. Press about two-thirds of the dough evenly into the prepared baking pan and bake for 15 minutes until light golden.
  2. Remove from the oven, spread raspberry jam over the warm crust, then crumble the remaining dough on top and sprinkle with sliced almonds.
  3. Return the pan to the oven and bake for an additional 20 to 25 minutes until the top is golden brown.
Cooling and Serving
  1. Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan before lifting them out using the parchment paper.
  2. Cut into squares and serve, or store in an airtight container.

Notes

These bars can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. They freeze well for up to three months.
