Ingredients

Crust and Topping

Filling

3cups fresh or frozen blueberries and/or raspberriesIf using frozen berries, don’t let them thaw; they will sink into the crust.
1/4cup Golden Barrel Organic Brown Sugar
3tablespoons lemon juice
1tablespoon lemon zest (zest from 1 lemon)(or 1/8 teaspoon lemon oil)
2tablespoons butter, melted
1/2teaspoon ground cinnamon
3tablespoons all-purpose flour

Glaze

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a 9×13″ pan with Golden Barrel coconut oil.
To make the crust and topping: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, oats, salt, baking powder, baking soda, and cinnamon. Using a mixer, or by hand, cut the butter pats into the dry ingredients until the mixture is crumbly, being careful to not overmix. Transfer 2 cups of the crumbs to a separate bowl, setting aside for later (those will be the crumb topping). Press the remaining crumbs into the 9×13″ pan. Bake crust for 15 minutes and remove from oven.
To make the filling: While the crust is in the oven, in a large bowl, mix together the filling ingredients. Distribute the filling over the baked crust.
Sprinkle the reserved 2 cups crumb mixture evenly on top of the filling and return the bars to the oven. Bake for 40-45 minutes, until the filling is bubbly and the crumbs have browned. Remove bars from oven and place on cooling rack.
To make the glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the glaze ingredients. Drizzle over the bars while they’re still warm. Cool completely before cutting.
