Ingredients
Filling
- 1 2/3 cups strawberries, hulled and diced
- 1 ½ cups fresh rhubarb, cut into 1/4 inch pieces
- 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1/3 cup white sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
Crumb Layer
- 1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 1/3 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
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease an 8×8-inch baking dish with butter.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
Press 2 cups of the mixture into the prepared baking dish, pressing down lightly. Set remaining mixture aside.
Step 4
Combine strawberries and rhubarb in a bowl. Drizzle with lemon juice and toss to combine.
Step 5
Mix together 1/3 cup sugar and cornstarch in a small bowl. Add to strawberry-rhubarb mixture and mix well. Pour fruit filling on top of the crumb layer. Crumble reserved crumb mixture on top of the fruit, spreading evenly.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven until the top has browned and the filling is bubbly, about 45 minutes. Remove and cool before cutting into bars.
