Description

Strawberry Rhubarb Crisp Bars are a sweet-tart dessert made with a buttery oat crust and crumble, filled with a juicy strawberry rhubarb layer.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 1/2 cups chopped rhubarb
  • 1 1/2 cups chopped strawberries
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, mix oats, flour, brown sugar, and salt. Stir in melted butter until crumbly.
  3. Press two-thirds of the mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan.
  4. In another bowl, combine rhubarb, strawberries, granulated sugar, cornstarch, vanilla extract, and lemon juice.
  5. Spread the fruit mixture evenly over the crust in the pan.
  6. Sprinkle the remaining oat mixture over the top of the fruit layer.
  7. Bake for 40-45 minutes or until the top is golden and fruit is bubbly.
  8. Let cool completely before cutting into bars.

Notes

  • Bars can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
  • Substitute frozen fruit if fresh is not available, but thaw and drain first.
  • For a firmer bar, refrigerate before cutting.
