These Mixed Berry Streusel Bars are bursting with sweet, tart berries, surrounded by soft and buttery streusel, then finished with a tangy lemon glaze. You’ll be berry happy you made these!
0 Streusel: Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease an 8” x 8” square pan with cooking spray. Line with parchment paper to create a sling, with an overhang on all four sides.
1 In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the melted butter and vanilla and mix together with a fork until the mixture is fully combined and crumbly.
2 Add a little more than half of the streusel to the bottom of the prepared pan and press down until firmly and evenly packed down. Bake for 13-15 minutes or until golden brown on the edges. Allow to cool for at least 10 minutes.
3 Berries: In another bowl, combine the berries, sugar, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Toss with a spoon until combined. Once the streusel base has cooled, add the berries and spread into an even layer.
4 Break up the remaining streusel into small clumps and sprinkle over the berries to create an even layer. Bake for 24-26 minutes, or until the streusel starts to get golden brown. Allow to cool completely then cut into 8 equal pieces.
5 Glaze: In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, lemon juice, and lemon extract until combined. Drizzle the glaze over the bars.
6 Serve chilled or at room temperature and enjoy!
