Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line an 8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on two sides. (5 minutes)

02

Step

In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup white whole wheat flour, oats, 6 tablespoons melted butter, brown sugar, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Mix with a fork until a crumbly topping forms. Place in the refrigerator to chill. (10 minutes)

03

Step

In a separate bowl, combine 1/2 cup softened butter and confectioners' sugar. Beat with an electric mixer until light and creamy. Add eggs and egg yolk one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Beat in lemon zest, rosemary, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract. (10 minutes)

04

Step

In another bowl, whisk together 3/4 cup white whole wheat flour, baking powder, and 1/8 teaspoon salt. Add to the creamed butter mixture in 2 to 3 batches, mixing well after each addition, until a thick dough forms. (5 minutes)

05

Step

Spread the dough evenly in the bottom of the prepared pan. Arrange blackberries evenly on top of the dough. Stir the crumb topping and sprinkle it evenly over the blackberries. Gently press down to pack the topping slightly. (5 minutes)

06

Step

Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 40 to 45 minutes. (40-45 minutes)

07

Step

Transfer the baking dish to a wire rack and let the bars cool completely in the pan for at least 1 hour. (60 minutes)

08

Step

Once cooled, lift the bars out of the pan using the parchment paper edges. Cut into 12 equal pieces using a long, serrated knife for clean cuts. (5 minutes)

For best results, use fresh, ripe blackberries during peak season.
Adjust the amount of rosemary to your preference for a more or less pronounced savory note.
Serve these bars slightly chilled or at room temperature for optimal flavor and texture.
Store leftover bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
