Triple Berry Crisp Bars
These Triple Berry Crisp Bars are the perfect way to celebrate summer’s best fruit. They’re perfect for a barbecue or picnic, because they can be made in advance, and travel well!
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 recipe for 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!

Triple Berry Crisp Bars
Ingredients
- 1 ⅔ cups Bob’s Red Mill Organic Old Fashioned Rolled Oats
- 1 ¼ cups Bob’s Red Mill Organic Unbleached White All Purpose Flour
- ¾ cup light brown sugar
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- 10 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
- Zest of 1 lemon
- 5 teaspoons lemon juice
- 1 ½ teaspoons cornstarch
- 1 cup blackberries
- 1 cup blueberries
- 1 cup raspberries
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line bottom and two sides of 9 x 13-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- Place oats, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, ginger and salt in medium bowl; stir until well combined. Add melted butter; stir just until clumps form.
- Set aside 3/4 cup of oat mixture. Press remaining mixture evenly in bottom of prepared pan.
- In medium bowl, whisk lemon zest, lemon juice and cornstarch until smooth. Add blackberries, blueberries and raspberries; gently toss until berries are covered in lemon juice mixture.
- Evenly spread berry mixture over crust in pan. Sprinkle berries with remaining oat mixture.
- Transfer to oven and bake 45 to 50 minutes or until fruit is bubbly and oat mixture is golden. Let stand at room temperature one hour, then transfer to refrigerator to chill completely so bars set up before cutting. Cut into squares to serve. Bars can be made in advance and kept in refrigerator up to 3 days, and they can be served chilled OR at room temperature.
Notes
- I prefer fresh fruit here as frozen will be too watery.
