Berry Breakfast Bars
Easy Berry Breakfast Bars, made with either fresh or frozen berries, are quick and simple to prepare, making them an ideal healthy breakfast choice.
Ingredients
- 6 ounces butter melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup old fashioned oats
- ⅓ cup light brown sugar
- ¾ cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 2 cups fresh or frozen berries
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
I always use Kosher salt in my kitchen! If using table salt, start with half the amount and adjust to taste, as it is much "saltier" by volume.
Instructions
- Preheat an oven to 375° F and line an 8x8 baking dish with parchment paper.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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 into 8 equal bars. Enjoy!
