Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 2 cups Fresh Blackberries
- 1/2 cup Granulated Sugar
Crust and Topping
- 1 1/2 cups All-Purpose Flour
- 1/2 cup Granulated Sugar
- 1 cup Unsalted Butter, softened
- 1 cup Oats
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s at the right temperature for baking.
- Prepare the Crust: In a mixing bowl, combine flour, oats, sugar, and butter until crumbly. Press this mixture into the bottom of a greased baking dish to form your crust.
- Make the Filling: In another bowl, mix fresh blackberries with a bit of sugar and let them sit to release their juices. This will create a delicious berry filling.
- Assemble: Spread the blackberry mixture evenly over the crust, then sprinkle the remaining crumb mixture on top to create a delightful topping.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
- Cool and Slice: Allow the bars to cool completely in the baking dish before slicing them into squares for serving.
Notes
- Use Fresh Berries: Fresh blackberries provide the best flavor and texture, so choose ripe ones for optimal results.
- Don’t Overmix: When combining the crust ingredients, mix just until crumbly to maintain the desired texture.
- Let Them Cool: Allow the bars to cool completely before slicing for cleaner cuts and better presentation.
- Line Your Pan: Using parchment paper can make for easier removal and cleanup.
- Experiment with Sweetness: Adjust the sugar in the filling based on the sweetness of your blackberries.
