Description
Simple recipe for sweet and tart strawberry oatmeal crumble bars.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into pieces
- 1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen strawberries, chopped
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on two sides for easy removal.
- In a medium bowl, combine the flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, baking soda, and salt for the crumble base.
- Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Press two-thirds of the crumble mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan.
- In a separate small bowl, mix the chopped strawberries, granulated sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice.
- Spread the strawberry filling evenly over the crust layer.
- Sprinkle the remaining one-third of the crumble mixture over the strawberry layer.
- Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
- Let the bars cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before lifting out and cutting into squares.
Notes
- For a firmer crumble, chill the dough for 15 minutes before pressing into the pan.
- You can use frozen strawberries without thawing; just increase the baking time by 5 minutes.
