Yessss, I like these bars berry, berry much. First of all, the crumble crust is on point. It almost tastes like a berry crisp and we all know there’s nothing wrong with that. Throw a scoop of ice cream on top for good measure, because who says you can’t eat ice cream in January? (Just crank up that thermostat.)

- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- Pinch of salt

- Stir all of the crumble ingredients together until combined. I used the paddle attachment on my stand mixer to make this super easy.
- Press a little more than half of the crumble mixture evenly into the bottom of your prepared pan.
- Stir together all of the berry layer ingredients. Pour the berry mixture over the crumble crust.
- Crumble the rest of the topping over the top of the berries.
- Bake in preheated oven for 45-55 minutes. You want the crumble topping to be set and golden.
- Remove from oven and allow to cool in the pan before slicing, serving, and enjoying. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
Mix together the crumble ingredients.
All mixed up.
In a separate bowl, mix together the berry ingredients.
Press a little more than half of the crumble mixture into a lined and greased 8×8″ baking pan.
Spread the berry mixture on top.
Crumble the remaining topping over the top.
Bake for 45-55 minutes in a 350 degree oven. The topping should be set. Remove from oven and cool in the pan before cutting.
Enjoy!
