Can I substitute the gluten-free flour blend in these crumble bars?

This recipe specifically uses a gluten-free flour blend for the crust, which provides the desired texture. Substituting with wheat flour would change the gluten-free nature and potentially the crumb structure.

Do I have to use frozen mixed berries, or can I use fresh?

The recipe calls for thawed frozen mixed berries, which release more juice and create a softer filling. If using fresh berries, you might want to lightly mash them or add a touch of cornstarch to thicken.

Why is it important to let the crumble bars cool for an hour after baking?

Allowing the Mixed Berry Crumble Bars to cool for an hour helps them set properly, making them easier to cut into clean squares without crumbling excessively.

Can I use only one type of sugar instead of both organic cane and coconut sugar?

The recipe uses both organic cane sugar and coconut sugar for a balanced sweetness and depth of flavor in the crust. Using only one type might alter the final taste and texture slightly.

How should I store leftover Mixed Berry Crumble Bars?

Once cooled, store these crumble bars in an airtight container at room temperature for a few days, or refrigerate them to extend their freshness. They can also be frozen for longer storage.
