Fresh Raspberries in Baking
If you love fresh raspberries, you MUST give this recipe a try.
I promise, you will fall in love with the flavors, just as my family did. Raspberries are full of antioxidants and vitamins! Raspberries are in season during the summer, but luckily, you can buy them all year round! You will also love this delicious naturally gluten free Raspberry French Macarons recipe
Top with certified gluten free streusel topping, almonds, and fresh raspberries!
(*This post was sponsored by Smart & Final. All delicious, crumbly sweet opinions are my own!)
I bought the ingredients for this dessert at one of my favorite places for bargains, Smart & Final. Did you know Smart & Final has tons of gluten free and organic products? This is the place I go to stock up on my kids’ favorite gluten free pasta too…it is 1/2 the price at Smart & Final!!
Who can pass that up?
I picked up all of the ingredients to make this dessert and a few extras. Do you like to find new bargains to use in recipes? The only thing I added from my pantry was gluten free flour. Hopefully Smart & Final will add this to their products soon :-).
I love so much about this store, even their First Street house brand products.
Did you know that Smart & Final donates back a percentage of each and every First Street sale to their local communities? I love when a company gives back to their community.

Your bars are currently baking in my oven and I had a bit of a heart attack because I remembered seeing eggs in the picture of ingredients and remembering putting 0 eggs in the bars. So I double checked the recipe and breathed a sigh of relief. The recipe doesn’t call for eggs. Crisis adverted. Bake on bars, bake on!

I hope you enjoyed these 🙂

Sandi- this is for you. I don’t know if you really read these which is why I haven’t commented on anything until now. I was diagnosed with Celiac at the age of 60 1 year ago. I came upon your blog. I download, copy and save almost most of your recipes. I have joined 2 farmers markets; a 3-day boutique 3x’s per year; and a food truck 1x/mo. I hand make homemade goods. I started 9 months ago to add GLUTEN Free and LACTOSE Free baked goodies. I sell them for little, until I think I am worth more. 70% of my sales have been on your recipes!!!!! You are amazing! I have learned SO much from you. I embellish and improvise, but your tutelage and information have taught me how and allowed me to do so. I truly thank you, from the bottom of my heat. Of all of the 100 items I have baked from your recipes, I have received only one complaint. The Gingerbread donuts didn’t have enough ginger in them. Yet- these are my number 1 seller!!!
Sandi Gaertner
Wow Charlie, thank you for your note. I am so glad you enjoy my recipes. I would ask a favor that you direct your customers to my blog so that they can read it and see my recipes as well. Most of the money I make on my blog goes to pay my daughter’s medical bills. The little money I make on ad revenue is based on traffic to my blog. (I also tell everyone to watch out for ticks. They are really bad and 50% of people do not get a bullseye rash when bitten.)
Jade
These bars disappear so fast! No one ever complains when I make them 😁
Sandi Gaertner
LOL, your family is like mine. No desserts last long.

Love these Sandi!! What a great recipe… I love using almond and even coconut flour in desserts. This is going to feature at our home soon. No raspberries here.. (you can gasp) Will these work with cherries?? Gorgeous pics too!

Kacey @ The Cookie Writer
I so need these right now! Trying to cut down on sugar is hard 🙂 I think this may be the dessert for my mother-in-law’s birthday!
Sandi Gaertner
I hear you with the sugar, that is why I use so much almond flour to try to balance it out 🙂
Laura O|PetiteAllergyTreats
These bars look GORGEOUS! You’ve outdone yourself. I’m sure anyone would love these and never know they were gluten free! Pinned.
Sandi Gaertner
Thank you so much Laura 🙂
jane @ littlesugarsnaps
A few of my friends are Gluten Free now, so I’m finally venturing into new baking territory. Life must suck if nobody ever bakes for you because they can’t be bothered to learn new tricks. I have to say, these are a must next time one of those friends visits.
Sandi Gaertner
You are a good friend Jane 🙂

Kylee from Kylee Cooks
Smart & Final is so HANDY – there’s one right down the street from me, and they have some great deals. Looks like you were able to pick up all the essentials!
I love the combo of raspberries and cream cheese (funnily enough, I posted raspberry sweet rolls this morning… with cream cheese frosting).
Love how you made yours gluten free. I must give it a try!
Sandi Gaertner
Oh, I can’t wait to see your raspberry rolls. I had no idea until a few months ago that Smart & Final had so many organics and natural products…at a much lower price.
Kelly @ Mostly Homemade Mom
I never thought about adding almonds to my bar recipes! I love that idea, I have a strawberry bar recipe that I need to try that with!
Sandi Gaertner
Thank you so much Kelly 🙂
