Blackberry 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.

Blackberries in a bowl with granulated sugar and flour.

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.

A stainless steel bowl filled with flour, oatmeal, salt, baking powder, baking powder, brown sugar, granulated sugar fitted with a mixing paddle.

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.

Flour Oatmeal mixture in a stainless steel mixing bowl fitted with a paddle beater with 1 cup Cubed Butter.

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

Blackberry Crumb Bar crust mixture mixed together.

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!

Blackberry Crumb Bar Crumb crust pressed into a 9" x 13" parchment lined pan.

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.

Blackberry filling spread over oatmeal crumb crust.

Spread blackberries evenly over crumb mixture.

Blackberry Filling covered with oatmeal crumb topping in a 9"x13" pan.

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.
