Packed with antioxidant-rich berries, wholesome oats, and a touch of sugar, these bars offer the perfect balance of taste and nutrition. Plus, they're super simple to prepare, making them a great grab-and-go option for busy mornings.
These Berry Breakfast Bars are one of my favorite quick and easy breakfast recipes. Besides their wonderful flavor, what I love about these bars is how easy it is to customize them. You can easily swap out the berries for other fruits, like diced apples or pears, for a seasonal twist.
Both fresh and frozen berries can be used in this breakfast bar recipe. If you love quick breakfast recipes, be sure to check out some of my other recipes like these Breakfast Pigs in a Blanket and this post on overnight oats.

How To Make Berry Breakfast Bars
STEP 1
Combine the melted butter with the oats, vanilla extract, brown sugar, salt and flour. Mix until well combined. Press ⅓ of the mixture into the prepared pan, reserve the remaining for the top.
STEP 2
Place half of the fruit into the pan, slicing strawberries into smaller pieces if using. Evenly distribute all of the cornstarch and half of the granulated sugar over the fruit. Drizzle lemon juice on top. Finish by adding the remaining fruit and sugar.
STEP 3
Sprinkle over the reserved crumble, gently squeeze some of the crumble together as you are putting it on top of the fruit to make larger crumbles. Bake for 30 minutes, remove from the oven and top with sliced almonds (optional) continue baking for 10 more minutes. Cool completely before cutting. Enjoy!
Storage Tip
Because of the fruit filling these breakfast bars need to be stored in the refrigerator. Store the Berry breakfast Bars in the refrigerator for up to 7 days. If they last that long! Allow to come up to room temperature before serving.
