Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup old-fashioned oats
- ¾ cup packed brown sugar
- ¾ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup assorted fresh berries (such as blueberries, raspberries, and chopped strawberries)
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×9-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, oats, brown sugar, baking soda, and salt. Mix well.
- Pour the melted butter into the dry ingredients, stirring until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Press half of the crumb mixture into the bottom of the prepared baking pan to form the base layer.
- In another bowl, toss the fresh berries with granulated sugar and lemon juice. Gently spread the berry mixture over the crumb base.
- Sprinkle the remaining crumb mixture evenly over the berries, ensuring they are covered.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the berries are bubbling slightly.
- Once baked, let the bars cool in the pan on a wire rack for about 10 minutes. Then, lift them out using the parchment paper and allow them to cool completely before cutting into squares.
- Enjoy your Triple Berry Crumb Bars with a scoop of ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra special treat!
