What’s going on at your local farmer’s market? Mine has been crazy lately! ALL of the good stuff is in season right now, which is awesome. I usually just take two reusable bags with me, and when those are full, I’m done.

But lately, I’ve felt like I’ve need a wheeled cart or wagon or something, because my eyes are bigger than what my arms can carry.

A few weeks ago, my bags were full and I was headed out, but then I spotted a table full of ALL THE BERRIES. They all looked so amazing, and I couldn’t even decide between blueberries, raspberries, blackberries and strawberries.

So, naturally, I bought them all. The strawberries were eaten right away as-is, and some of the blackberries were used for tequila mojitos and blackberry muffins. A few of the blueberries were used for blueberry muffins with buttermilk, and the rest of the lot was destined for these Triple Berry Crisp Bars.

So, I obviously used three types of berries here, but if you prefer just one or two (or even want to use chopped strawberries instead), go right ahead. As long as you have 3 cups of berries total, you’re good.

The one thing that is non-negotiable in my baking is using Bob’s Red Mill Organic Unbleached White All Purpose Flour and Organic Old Fashioned Rolled Oats.

Whenever I need a baking ingredient, and one of the options at my store is Bob’s Red Mill, I will always choose the Bob’s Red Mill option. It’s a brand I trust because I know I’ll get a high-quality product, every single time.

Once you’re set with berries, flour and oats, these Triple Berry Crisp Bars use just a few more simple ingredients that you likely already have in your pantry.

Be sure you’re using old-fashioned rolled oats, and save the steel cut oats for savory oatmeal.

These bars are perfect for a barbecue party or picnic because they can be made in advance, and they travel well. Enjoy!
