These easy, mixed berry oatmeal crumble bars have a brown butter oat crust, a triple berry filling and topped with more crumble topping that’s baked until golden and bubbly for the perfect summer dessert!

Crumble, crisps, and cobblers scream summer dessert to me.

There’s nothing like a homemade berry crumble warm out of the oven and topped with a scoop (or two!) of vanilla ice cream.

These berry crumble bars are my favorite way to use up those leftover summer berries laying in my fridge.

The bars make it so easy to just grab and go or heat and serve with ice cream.

Either way, they’re delicious and the perfect way to top off a hot summer night orrrr start a bright summer day with ;).

Mixed berry oatmeal crumble bars use strawberries, blueberries and raspberries that get baked with a brown butter shortbread-like crust.

I mean really, what’s not to love here?!

Buttery + Sweet + Tart + Crunchy + Gooey= dessert heaven!!!

Air fried apple fritters on top of a cooling rack with parchment paper. They're dripping with brown butter glaze. There's a cup of coffee and red apple in the background with two whole cinnamon sticks.
A white bowl of homemade cauliflower gnocchi that have been pan fried and golden. They’re a copy cat version of Trader Joe’s
