Easy to Make: We make both the crust and crumble topping from the same mixture, meaning easier assembling and cleanup. Perfect for Crowds: This recipe makes 15 servings, but you can even cut crumble bars into cute, little bite-sized squares to serve twice as many. Great for Meal Prep: Berry Crumble Bars can easily be made the night before and chilled for a super easy make ahead treat. Key Recipe Ingredients Butter – Salted butter gives the crust and crumble topping that irresistible buttery flavor. Lemon Zest – We add lemon zest to both the crust mixture and the filling for a burst of citrus flavor that brings out the freshness of the berries. Lemon Juice – Lemon juice’s sourness balances the sweetness of the filling ingredients. Eggs – Eggs bind all the ingredients together so our bars don’t fall apart. Sugar – Simple granulated sugar sweetens these bars perfectly without overpowering the freshness of the berries and citrus. Greek Yogurt – We use yogurt to get a creamy, soft filling. It also balances the sweeter ingredients perfectly.. Berries – We like using a mix of blackberries, blueberries, strawberries, and raspberries for our bars, but any combination works amazing here. Substitutions And Variations Here are some of our favorite variations and additions to Berry Crumble Bars: Switch the Fruit: Try swapping the fruit you use in this recipe. Add fresh, juicy peaches like we do in our recipe for Peach Blueberry Crumb Bars. If you’re making these in the fall, try swapping the berries for apples and adding some spices like these Winning Apple Pie Bars. Use Just One Berry: Instead of using mixed berries, single in on your favorite berry or whatever you have on hand like we do with these irresistibly Easy Blueberry Bars. Add Toppings: For a truly sensational dessert, serve Berry Crumble Bars with a scoop of Creamy Vanilla Bean Ice Cream and a dollop of Stabilized Whipped Cream. Step-By-Step Recipe Instructions In a food processor, combine the flour, sugar, and lemon zest. Add cold, cubed butter into food processor and pulse until crumbly. Set aside half of the mixture for the topping and press the other half into the greased baking dish. Bake crust at 350F for 15 minutes until golden. Let cool. In a bowl, combine eggs, sugar, yogurt, flour, salt, lemon juice, and vanilla. Gently fold berries into yogurt mixture; pour over baked crust. Sprinkle crumble topping over berry mixture and bake at 350F for 75 to 90 minutes. Let cool completely and chill in the fridge before serving. Enjoy!

Here are our favorite prep-ahead tricks: Make Crust in Advance: The crust/crumble for this recipe can be made 2-3 days in advance, wrapped in plastic, and stored in the fridge. You can also freeze it for months before baking. Refrigerate Bars: Like we said, these bars are best enjoyed after they’ve chilled overnight in the fridge. They’ll stay fresh in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Freeze Bars: Fully cooked Berry Crumble Bars freeze wonderfully. Thaw frozen bars in the fridge overnight or warm in the microwave before enjoying. Commonly Asked Questions Can I use frozen berries for this recipe? Yes! You can definitely use frozen berries for this recipe. Just note that the baking time will be on the longer end. Can I make Berry Crumble Bars gluten free? Although we haven’t tried making these gluten-free, we think it would work just fine if you substitute the all purpose flour for 1:1 gluten-free all purpose flour. If you try it, let us know how it turns out! How can I tell when my Berry Crumble Bars are done? You’ll be able to tell your bars are done when the top turns golden and they set. They won’t be completely set until they cool, but the top should be almost firm to the touch. Why aren’t my bars setting even after they’re cooled? There could be a few reasons your bars may not be setting after cooling. You may have under baked them. Make sure they’re mostly firm to the touch before removing from the oven. Also, if you’re using frozen berries, you may need to add extra flour or a tablespoon of cornstarch to the mixture to soak up extra moisture from the berries.

If you get too much of the white underneath, the bars may taste a little bitter. Berry Crumble Bars are best enjoyed chilled. We recommend letting the bars sit in the fridge overnight before slicing. If you prefer them warm, you can definitely heat them in the microwave, but be sure to let them chill first so they can set.

The Boston Red Sox suspended outfielder Jarren Duran for two games for calling a fan an ‘anti-gay slur’ during the team’s loss Sunday to the Houston Astros. “In consultation with Major League Baseball, the Red Sox today issued an unpaid two-game suspension to outfielder Jarren Duran beginning with tonight’s game against the Texas Rangers at Fenway Park,” the Red Sox announced. “Additionally, Duran’s salary from the two-game suspension will be donated to PFLAG (Federation of Parents and Friends of Lesbians and Gays), the United States’ largest organization dedicated to supporting, educating, and advocating for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer people and those who love them,” the statement added.

A fan shouted at him that he needed a tennis racket. The player yelled back, “Shut up,” followed by the slur. He apologized in a statement after the game. “During tonight’s game, I used a truly horrific word when responding to a fan,” Duran said. “I feel awful knowing how many people I offended and disappointed. I apologize to the entire Red Sox organization, but more importantly to the entire LGBTQ community. “Our young fans are supposed to be able to look up to me as a role model, but tonight I fell far short of that responsibility.”

Tulsi Gabbard, a former congresswoman, Democratic presidential candidate, and U.S. military veteran, intends to take legal action against the Biden administration for placing her on a terrorist watch list. According to prior reports, Gabbard was placed on a Transportation Security Administration (TSA) watchlist under a program called ‘Quiet Skies.’ “This is a clear act of political retaliation,” Gabbard told Laura Ingraham. “The very next day after my conversation on the air with you warning the American people about how dangerous a Kamala Harris presidency would be, I was placed on this domestic terror watchlist which is called the Quiet Skies list under the Department of Homeland Security,” she added. WATCH: Hawaii News Now reports: Several local lawmakers are firing back after learning former Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard was placed on the terror watch list. Representatives Gene Ward, Diamond Garcia, Davis Alcos and Elijah Pierick sent a letter to the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) asking for answers and calling the move “harassment.” The Air Marshal National Council says whistle-blowers told them that Gabbard is included in the Quiet Skies program, which monitors “elevated risks to aviation security.” Report say at least five agents and two explosive detection canine teams were following Gabbard and her husband last month. Rep. Tim Burchett (R-TN) requested a meeting with TSA Administrator David P. Pekoske regarding the report that Gabbard was placed on the suspected-terrorist watchlist. “I have been told Mrs. Gabbard has been placed on a Transportation Security Administration (TSA) watchlist under a program known as ‘Quiet Skies’. I find this profoundly troubling for a number of reasons,” Burchett wrote in a letter. What on earth is @TSA doing putting @TulsiPress @TulsiGabbard on a terror watchlist??? pic.twitter.com/fivpVlfay0 — Rep. Tim Burchett (@RepTimBurchett) August 8, 2024 In response, Gabbard intends to take legal action against the Biden administration. “My own government, my president, my commander-in-chief is targeting me as a potential domestic terrorist, the closest word that comes to mind is a complete sense of betrayal,” Gabbard said. “After serving over 21 years and continuing to serve in our nation’s military, my own government has labeled and is targeting me directly now as a domestic terrorist,” she continued. “They are using people like the air marshals as weapons and pawns to target their political opponents,” she added. “Of course there’s no explanation given, which is why we are taking legal recourse,” she added.

None. Not one. Quiet Skies is extremely resource-intensive. Not only do people on the list get enhanced scrutiny and searches, but they are also followed by police at the airports, and armed Air Marshals follow them on flights because the target is deemed a security risk. She was put on the Quiet Skies list the day after she appeared on Fox News criticizing the Deep State. WATCH:
