Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups old-fashioned oats
- 0.75 cup unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup brown sugar
- 0.25 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 cups fresh or frozen mixed berries
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13 inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine the flour, oats, brown sugar, granulated sugar, baking powder, and ground cinnamon.
Melt the unsalted butter and add it to the dry ingredients along with the vanilla extract. Mix until crumbly texture forms.
Press about two-thirds of the crumb mixture into the bottom of the prepared baking dish to form an even layer.
In another bowl, gently toss together the berries, cornstarch, and lemon juice until well coated.
Spread the berry mixture evenly over the crust in the baking dish.
Sprinkle the remaining crumb mixture over the berry layer, pressing down lightly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the berries are bubbling.
Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares for serving.
Store leftover bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
