Blackberry Crumb Bars

Blackberry Crumb Bars make a delicious dessert but also a favorite sweet treat for brunch. Tangy sweet blackberries are sandwiched between an oatmeal crumb bottom and top crumb crust. 

Another favorite easy dessert recipe we love to make are Apple Pie Crumb Bars.

One of my favorite things about this time of year is the abundance of blackberries. I adore these juicy little gems.

Blackberry seasons in full swing and LJ has been out picking a bumper crop for me daily and freezing them for future use. Have I told you how much I love that boy, he's great about helping out when I need him and guilting his brother and sister into helping him. He even went out early the other morning to come home with fresh Blackberries to make these Blackberry Crumb Bars that are out of this world.

Who can pass on a crunchy layer of pressed crumb filled with blackberry filling and then a crunchy crumb topping?

Totally worth a face plant into the pan.

They are amazing plain but a scoop of vanilla ice cream makes them an extra special treat. 

Be prepared.. I'm pretty sure more blackberry recipes are on the way with the way my kids been picking!

Here's how to make these delicious Blackberry Crumb Bars:

Measure 5 cups Blackberries, fresh or frozen.

Add to the blackberries:

• 1/4 cup Granulated Sugar
• 3 tablespoons Flour

Mix until well combined.

I used whole wheat pastry flour for this recipe but all-purpose works too.

In a large bowl stir together:

• 2 1/3 cup All-Purpose Flour or Whole Wheat Pastry Flour
• 2 1/3 cup Oatmeal
• 1 teaspoon Sea Salt
• 2 teaspoons Baking Powder
• 1 cup Brown Sugar
• 1 cup Granulated Sugar 

Until well combined.

This can be done by hand or in a mixer.

Add 1 cup cubed cold butter and mix until combined and crumbly.

Crust should be looking all crumblylicious like this. 

It's also a little addicting uncooked so you may or may not want to try a taste or two or three but try not to eat it all, belly aches are no fun! 

Press half the crumb mixture into the bottom of a 9x13 pan that's buttered well.

For ease of removal line with parchment paper and butter parchment paper, then the bars can easily be removed from pan and cut neatly.

Spread blackberries evenly over crumb mixture.

Press remaining crumbs between fingers and evenly distribute them over the top of blackberries.

Bake in a 350 degree oven for 45-50 minutes, top will be lightly browned.

Eat a few Blackberry Crumb Bars plain for I don't know.... for Breakfast... It has oatmeal and berries so it totally qualifies as breakfast food...

And a few Blackberry Crumb Bars with a big ol' scoop of vanilla ice cream.

You can thank me later.
