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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13 inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine the flour, oats, brown sugar, granulated sugar, baking powder, and ground cinnamon.

Step 3

Melt the unsalted butter and add it to the dry ingredients along with the vanilla extract. Mix until crumbly texture forms.

Step 4

Press about two-thirds of the crumb mixture into the bottom of the prepared baking dish to form an even layer.

Step 5

In another bowl, gently toss together the berries, cornstarch, and lemon juice until well coated.

Step 6

Spread the berry mixture evenly over the crust in the baking dish.

Step 7

Sprinkle the remaining crumb mixture over the berry layer, pressing down lightly.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the berries are bubbling.

Step 9

Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares for serving.

Step 10

Store leftover bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
