I used blackberries and raspberries. You could add or substitute sliced strawberries, blueberries, and\/or black raspberries if desired.<\/p>\n<h3>Can I use frozen berries for the shortbread bars?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes! If needed, you can use frozen mixed berries. You may need to add a few extra minutes of baking time since the berry layer will be frozen before baking.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>One thing to note, if you\u2019re using frozen berries, you do NOT need to thaw them beforehand. Your berry layer will be too juicy and may not set properly while baking, if you do.<\/p>\n<h3>Can I use a different kind of oats?<\/h3>\n<p>Be sure to use old fashioned rolled oats, NOT quick-cooking or steel cut oats. If you use these, you will compromise on consistency and cooking time.<\/p>\n<h3>Can I use salted butter instead?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes, you can use salted butter, but if you do this, skip the added salt.<\/p>\n<h3>How should I store the bars?<\/h3>\n<p>You can store leftovers covered at room temperature for up to 5 days, or in the fridge for a week.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Or as another option, you can wrap and freeze the bars for up to 2 months. Just bring them back up to room temperature before serving.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-108375 size-full\" alt=\"dunking shortbread bars into short glass of milk, with hands\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1796\" data-pin-title=\"Shortbread Berry Bars\" data-pin-description=\"Shortbread bars with a berry good twist!

I used blackberries and raspberries. You could add or substitute sliced strawberries, blueberries, and\/or black raspberries if desired.<\/li>\n<li>If needed, you can use frozen mixed berries. You may need to add a few extra minutes of baking time since the berry layer will be frozen before baking.<br \/>Do NOT thaw beforehand if using frozen berries. Your berry layer will be too juicy and may not set properly while baking.<\/li>\n<li>As your berries sit in the bowl, the lemon juice will render the natural juices from the berries. Be sure to drain any excess juice before spreading the berries over the shortbread crust. This is why I also recommend mixing the oat shortbread mixture first, so as to avoid any excess sitting\/sweating in the berry mixture.<\/li>\n<li>You don\u2019t have to macerate the berries if you don\u2019t want to. My blackberries were very large, so I wanted to get them cut up a bit and incorporate the pieces throughout my berry layer.<\/li>\n<li>Be sure to use old fashioned rolled oats, NOT quick-cooking or steel cut oats. If you use these, you will compromise on consistency and cooking time.<\/li>\n<li>You can use salted butter, but if you do this, skip the added salt.<\/li>\n<li>A 9&#215;9 baking pan will yield 16 square bars, two inches in length\/width\/height. You can use a bigger pan, such as a 9&#215;13, to make thinner bars.<\/li>\n<li>If you notice that your topping is browning too quickly in the oven, you can cover the pan with aluminum foil and return it to baking. Be very careful to avoid burns!<\/li>\n<li>Allow the bars to cool completely to room temperature before cutting and serving. They will fall apart easily if they aren\u2019t cool, and will firm up upon cooling.<\/li>\n<li>Store leftovers covered at room temperature for up to 5 days, or in the fridge for a week.<\/li>\n<li>You can also wrap and freeze these bars for up to 2 months. Bring to room temperature before serving.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Shortbread bars with a berry good twist!
