I like to think of these fruit and oat bars as a grownup version of one of my favorite lunchbox snacks. I'll bake these through spring and summer and bring them to picnics and cookouts every chance I get. The oat crumble comes together super quickly and the fruit layer works with just about any fresh or frozen berries that are on hand.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Spray a 9-inch square baking pan with baking spray and line with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on two sides of the pan (for easy removal after baking).
- For the fruit: In a medium bowl, toss together the berries, sugar, lemon zest and juice, vanilla and salt. Set aside.
- For the crumble: In a large bowl, combine the flour, oats, brown sugar and salt. Add the butter and use your hands to work the butter into the oat mixture until crumbly and combined.
- Press a little more than half of the crumble into your prepared pan. Pour the sugared berries over the pressed crust and top with the remaining crumble.
- Bake the bars for 25 minutes, then reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F and continue baking until the center is bubbly and the topping is golden, 30 to 35 minutes. Let cool completely, lift out of the pan and slice into 16 bars.
