Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400 F.

If not using jam, microwave raspberries and sugar for 2 minutes. Cool. Place butter, muffin mix, oats and chopped nuts in medium bowl and mix with a spoon until blended. Press 1/2 of the mixture evenly and firmly into the bottom of a greased 13-by-9-by-2-inch baking pan. Spread raspberries (or jam) on crumb mixture; press firmly to make top even. Top with remaining crumb mixture and press firmly. Bake 20 to 25 minutes, or until top is lightly browned. Do not overbake. Cool completely. Cut into bars.
