Berry Crumble Bars

I’m a big fan of bar recipes. Why? Because they look pretty without much effort. What’s not to love about that? The bar form means you just layer stuff on and bake. Totally not complicated and certainly NOT pretentious.

Description

Turn those berries into bars! Delicious fresh (or frozen!) fruit can easily be tranformed into these delicious, easy-to-make Berry Crumble Bars!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 3/4 cup rolled oats
  • 3/4 cup white whole wheat flour
  • 1/3 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 6 tablespoons cold butter, diced
  • 2 heaping cups raspberries & chopped strawberries*
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar or 3 tablespoons honey
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350’F and line an 8×8-inch baking pan with foil, extending foil just over the sides of the pan and spray with cooking spray.
  2. Place the oats in the bowl of a food processor and process until it looks like coarse flour, about 10 seconds. Add the flour, brown sugar, salt and baking powder to the oats in the food processor and pulse to combine. Add the butter and process until mixture resembles wet sand, about 20-25 seconds. Set 3/4 cup of the mixture aside and press the remaining mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan. Bake for 15 minutes.
  3. While crust is baking, prepare the filling. In a mixing bowl, combine the berries, honey, cornstarch and lemon zest and toss to combine. Spoon mixture evenly over the baked crust then sprinkle the top with reserved crumb mixture.
  4. Bake in preheated oven for 35 minutes or until top is golden. Cool completely before slicing.

Notes

*Any combination of berries or stone fruit will work here.
