Strawberry Rhubarb Crumb Bars

It’s not too often throughout the year that my local grocery store has fresh rhubarb, but when it does I always have to grab some. I absolutely love the strawberry rhubarb combination and how the sweetness of the strawberries and the tartness of the rhubarb balances each other out so perfectly. And when you pair that combination with a buttery, sweet, vanilla, oat crumble you know it’s going to be good – and let me tell you these are unbelievably delectable! It’s one of those sweets that you’ll keep finding yourself heading back to the kitchen and cutting off little square after little square until half the pan is gone because there’s just no resisting them! They are one of my all time favorite bars and that is saying something! They have the most amazing texture with a crisp toping and very bottom layer then that middle layer next to the fruity filling is kind of chewy and soft like a cookie. I will never stop dreaming about these things, and I love that they are easy to make (and no mixer is required)!

If you like these you’ll also have to try my Lemon Creme Crumb Bars and my Pumpkin Pie Crumb Bars (who says you need to wait until fall to bake with pumpkin? Definitely not me. I often take pumpkin chocolate chip cookies to the beach in the summer. So random I know, but so right). For now start with these because you’ll have a better chance of getting fresh rhubarb, then next week try the lemon version then the week after that the pumpkin. That sounds like a wonderful three weeks to me :). Read More »
