Main Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour organic if possible
- 1 cup old-fashioned oats

Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
- In a mixing bowl, combine flour, oats, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Pour in the melted butter and stir until the mixture forms a crumbly texture.
- Press half of the oat mixture into the prepared baking dish to form the crust.
- In another bowl, toss the mixed berries with lemon juice and cornstarch. Spread the mixture evenly over the crust.
- Sprinkle the remaining oat mixture over the top of the berries.
- Bake for 40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the berries are bubbling.
- Allow the bars to cool completely in the baking dish before slicing and serving.
Notes
To add extra crunch, sprinkle some chopped nuts over the top before baking. For a sweeter touch, drizzle with honey after cooling.
