1 ⅓ cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon baking soda
1 pinch salt
1 ⅓ cups quick cooking oats
½ cup lightly packed light brown sugar
½ cup white sugar
¾ cup melted unsalted butter
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 ⅔ cups strawberries, hulled and diced
1 ½ cups fresh rhubarb, cut into 1/4 inch pieces
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice

1 tablespoon cornstarch

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease an 8x8-inch baking dish with butter.
  • Combine flour, baking soda, and salt in a bowl; stir to combine. Mix in oats, white sugar, and brown sugar until well combined, using the back of a spoon to break up any brown sugar clumps. Add melted butter and vanilla extract and stir well until mixture is evenly moistened.

  • Combine strawberries and rhubarb in a bowl. Drizzle with lemon juice and toss to combine.

Provided by Tom421

Number Of Ingredients 13

Base and crumble topping:
8 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
1 cup old-fashioned oats
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 cup sugar
1/3 cup packed light brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
Fruit mixture:
2 cups chopped rhubarb
1 1/2 cups chopped strawberries
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon cornstarch
2 tablespoons sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line an 8 x 8-inch square pan with parchment paper. In a medium bowl, blend the base ingredients together with your fingers until the butter is no longer visible and the mixture is loose and crumbly. Transfer about 3/4 of the mixture to the prepared pan. Use a measuring cup to press the mixture into an even layer on the bottom of the pan. In another medium bowl, stir the rhubarb, strawberry, lemon juice, cornstarch and sugar together. Pour into the pan. Crumble the remaining base mixture on top of the fruit. Bake in the oven until golden brown, about 30 minutes. Remove from the oven. Let cool in pan for at least 30 minutes before slicing into 9 pieces. Tip: Lining the pan with parchment paper helps with removing the bars after baking.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh strawberries and rhubarb. If you are using frozen fruit, be sure to thaw it completely before using.
  • If you don't have a food processor, you can use a pastry blender or two forks to mix the butter into the flour and sugar until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of the baking pan. This will help to prevent the bars from falling apart when you cut them.
  • Bake the bars until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
  • Let the bars cool completely before cutting them. This will help to prevent them from falling apart.

Conclusion:

Strawberry rhubarb crumb bars are a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With their sweet and tart filling and buttery crumb crust, these bars are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a special treat, give this recipe a try.
