Berry Crumble Bars

To me, spring means it's fresh berry season. Beautiful strawberries, blueberries, raspberries and blackberries can all be bought at local farmers markets. My absolute favorite berry is strawberry, so I get really excited when it gets to be spring in NJ and the strawberries come into season. I decided this week to buy up a lot of different berries and try different recipes out, and the first thing I made was these beautiful berry crumble bars.

These crumble bars are the perfect spring dessert. For these I used strawberries, raspberries and blackberries. You could use any mix of berries you want, or even just one type of berry and it will come out delicious, no matter what. You could also use frozen berries to make this recipe any time. Make sure you cut up the bigger berries into smaller pieces, I chopped up the strawberries and cut the larger raspberries and blackberries into halves.

These bars use the same batter for the crust and the crumble. You just have to make the one batter, toss the fruit with a few ingredients and put it together and bake it. So it ends up being a really easy recipe to make, but they turn out to be really impressive tasting.
