Raspberry Almond Shortbread Bars

We love this recipe for Raspberry Almond Shortbread Bars because they're so easy to make. But we love it even more because they're delicious! To make these plant-based bars you just need one batter that you use for the base and the crumb topping. Raspberry jam is the sweet fruity layer in between.
