Instructions

Step
Preheat oven to 350ºF (180ºC). Line a 9-inch (23 cm) square baking pan with parchment paper; set aside.
Step
In a bowl, stir together oats, flour, cinnamon, salt and baking soda. In a large bowl, beat butter, brown sugar and peanut butter until smooth. Beat in egg and vanilla. Stir in oat mixture until well combined. Using lightly floured hands, press two-thirds of the mixture into prepared pan. Bake for 15 minutes until edges are light golden.
Step
Meanwhile in a large bowl, toss raspberries with sugar, flour and cinnamon to coat. Stir in jam to combine. Carefully spread raspberry filling over par-baked base and dollop with yogurt. Sprinkle remaining oat mixture over top and pat down lightly.
Step
Return to oven for about 30 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool completely before cutting into bars or squares.
