Ingredients

• 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 4 cups mixed berries
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Grease a 9x13-inch (23x33 cm) baking dish with butter or line it with parchment paper.

Step 3

In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt.

Step 4

Cut the unsalted butter into small cubes and add to the flour mixture. Use a fork or a pastry cutter to blend the butter into the mixture until crumbly.

Step 5

In a separate small bowl, beat the egg and vanilla extract together.

Step 6

Add the egg mixture to the crumbly flour mixture and blend just until combined and the mixture begins to clump.

Step 7

Press half of the crumbly mixture into the bottom of the prepared baking dish to form an even crust.

Step 8

In another large bowl, combine the mixed berries, cornstarch, and lemon juice. Toss to ensure the berries are well coated.

Step 9

Spread the berry mixture evenly over the crust in the baking dish.

Step 10

Sprinkle the remaining crumbly mixture over the top of the berry layer evenly.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the berry filling is bubbly.

Step 12

Allow the bars to cool in the pan for at least 30 minutes before cutting into squares and serving.
