1 cup of fresh raspberries
1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
Optional: Chopped nuts (like almonds or walnuts)
Optional: A sprinkle of cinnamon
Optional: Powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Prepare your baking pan by lining an 8×8 inch square baking pan with parchment paper, greasing it lightly.
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Add the melted butter and vanilla, stirring to combine until the mixture looks crumbly.
Press two-thirds of the mixture into the bottom of your prepared baking pan to form the crust.
Scatter fresh raspberries and chocolate chips over the crust.
Crumble the remaining crust mixture on top of the raspberries and chocolate.
Bake for about 30-35 minutes or until the top is lightly golden brown.
