Ingredients

• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Old-fashioned rolled oats
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, melted
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 2 cups Fresh blackberries
• 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal later.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, old-fashioned oats, brown sugar, and salt. Mix until evenly distributed.

Step 3

Pour the melted butter over the dry ingredients. Stir until the mixture is crumbly and can clump together when pressed.

Step 4

Press two-thirds of the oat mixture firmly into the prepared baking dish to form an even crust. Reserve the remaining third of the mixture for the topping.

Step 5

In a medium-sized bowl, toss the blackberries with granulated sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice until the berries are evenly coated.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Sprinkle the reserved oat topping over the blackberries, pressing down gently to adhere it to the filling.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 35–40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the blackberry filling is bubbling around the edges.

Step 9

Allow the bars to cool completely in the baking dish before lifting them out using the parchment overhang. Slice into 9 squares and serve.

Step 10

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
