Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 15

½ cup packed light brown sugar
½ cup granulated sugar
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup unsalted butter, cut into ½ inch cubes
1 large egg, lightly beaten
½ cup Fisher Pecans, finely chopped
1-½ cups fresh blueberries
1-½ cups fresh raspberries
1 cup fresh blackberries
1 tablespoon lemon juice
½ cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan with butter or nonstick cooking spray. You can also line the pan with foil or parchment before greasing the pan to ensure they do not stick.
  • In the bowl of a food processor, combine the light brown sugar, granulated sugar, flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt. Pulse the mixture in the food processor a few times to incorporate the ingredients. Add in the butter and continue to pulse the food processor until the mixture comes together and small clumps form. Add in the egg and pulse again to combine.
  • If you do not own a food processor, you can use a pastry blender or two forks to cut the butter into the flour mixture. It will take a little more time, but it is totally doable.
  • Spoon half of the crumble mixture into the prepared pan and use your hands or the bottom of a measuring cup to pat the mixture into an even and compact crust layer.
  • Add your berries to a large bowl and gently toss them with the lemon juice.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar and cornstarch. Sprinkle the cornstarch and sugar mixture over the top of the berries and gently toss to cover the berries with the mixture. Pour berries evenly over the crust.
  • Crumble the remaining crumble topping over the berries. To make little clumps, simple squeeze the crumble topping in your hand and sprinkle the crumbs to create a topping layer. Sprinkle pecans on top of crumble topping.
  • Bake in preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown. Cool completely before serving.
  • Serve these berry crumble bars alone, or slightly warmed up with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream.

BERRY CRUMBLE BARS



Berry Crumble Bars image

I like to think of these fruit and oat bars as a grownup version of one of my favorite lunchbox snacks. I'll bake these through spring and summer and bring them to picnics and cookouts every chance I get. The oat crumble comes together super quickly and the fruit layer works with just about any fresh or frozen berries that are on hand.

Time 2h15m

Yield 16 bars

Number Of Ingredients 11

Nonstick baking spray
2 1/2 cups fresh or frozen berries (I like a mix of blueberries and quartered strawberries)
1 tablespoon granulated or brown sugar
1 lemon, zested, then 1/2 the lemon, juiced
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Pinch fine salt
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups rolled oats
1 cup lightly packed light brown sugar
1 teaspoon fine salt
10 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Spray a 9-inch square baking pan with baking spray and line with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on two sides of the pan (for easy removal after baking).
  • For the fruit: In a medium bowl, toss together the berries, sugar, lemon zest and juice, vanilla and salt. Set aside.
  • For the crumble: In a large bowl, combine the flour, oats, brown sugar and salt. Add the butter and use your hands to work the butter into the oat mixture until crumbly and combined.
  • Press a little more than half of the crumble into your prepared pan. Pour the sugared berries over the pressed crust and top with the remaining crumble.
  • Bake the bars for 25 minutes, then reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F and continue baking until the center is bubbly and the topping is golden, 30 to 35 minutes. Let cool completely, lift out of the pan and slice into 16 bars.

Tips:

  • Use fresh or frozen berries. Fresh berries are ideal, but frozen berries work well too. If using frozen berries, thaw them before using.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the dough tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking. Chilling the dough will help it hold its shape and prevent it from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Bake the bars until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. The bars are done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the bars cool completely before cutting. This will help prevent them from falling apart.

Conclusion:

Berry crumb bars are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. They're perfect for potlucks, picnics, and bake sales. With their sweet and tangy filling and buttery crumb topping, they're sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
