Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 240 grams all-purpose flour
- 180 grams old-fashioned rolled oats
- 100 grams granulated sugar
- 100 grams brown sugar, packed
- 180 grams unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 400 grams fresh or frozen mixed berries
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, rolled oats, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir until well mixed.
Pour the melted butter and vanilla extract into the dry ingredients and mix with a spatula or your hands until the mixture is crumbly and well-combined.
Take about two-thirds of the crumble mixture and press it firmly and evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan to form the crust.
In another bowl, combine the mixed berries, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Toss gently to coat the berries until the cornstarch is dissolved and evenly distributed.
Spread the berry mixture over the crust in the pan, spreading it out evenly.
Sprinkle the remaining crumble mixture evenly over the berry layer, ensuring that some of the fruit is still visible.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the berry layer is bubbling.
Once baked, remove the pan from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan on a wire rack for at least 20 minutes.
Once cooled, lift the bars out of the pan using the parchment overhang, transfer to a cutting board, and slice into 12 bars.
Serve the bars at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
