Ingredients
Berry Layer
- 4 cups mixed berries I did 2 cups chopped strawberries 1 cup blueberries and 1 cup raspberries
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp lemon zest
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tbsp corn starch

Crust and Crumb
- 1 ½ cups all purpose flour
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- ½ cup salted butter one stick, cold from refrigerator
- 1 egg whisked
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F and line 8x8 baking pan with parchment paper - this will make it much easier to lift out the cooked bars and cut them.
- Rinse and chop strawberries and add to a mixing bowl along with the other berries. Mix in the sugar, lemon zest, lemon juice, cornstarch and vanilla extract. Set bowl aside.
- In a separate bowl combine the dry ingredients for the crust and crumb layer so mix flour, sugar, baking powder and salt together.
- Cut cold butter into cubes and pour into the bowl. Use a pastry cutter or fork to mix butter into dry ingredients until you are left with small crumbles of butter.
- Mix whisked egg and vanilla extract into the bowl and continue mixing until everything is a crumbly texture and all flour is incorporated - you may need top use your hands to get the right consistency.
- Take half of the crumb mixture and press into the bottom of the baking pan to make a crust. Pour the berry mixture on top of that. Lastly, sprinkle the rest of the crumb mixture on top of the berry mixture
- Place in the oven and bake at 350F for 45-50 minutes or until the top layer of crumb is golden brown.
- **IMPORTANT - allow the bars to cool completely before cutting or else they will fall apart.
