Strawberry rhubarb crumble bars recipe is a mouthwatering dessert recipe to celebrate Spring. A fully loaded  strawberry rhubarb dessert with a crispy oatmeal crust.

Rhubarb is not that famous in the Middle East, actually I've never seen it before. Since I've made this delicious rhubarb scones, I was hooked. I liked it so much and it is going to appear in this space of the internet so often :).

These strawberry rhubarb crumble bars can be enjoyed on their own or, even better, warm with a scoop of melting vanilla ice cream on top.... imagine that. This little, or big, scoop gives the perfect creaminess and texture to this crumble bar....Isn't that great?!

We've also enjoyed them as a quick breakfast bars with some coffee, they were delicious.

It’s that time of the year when you see all these fresh berries and fruits everywhere, this inspires me to go for all the spring and summertime treats loaded with fruit.

This is a very simple and easy recipe that does not require any baking or cooking skills and the result is a super fruity, sweet and tart filling sandwiched between crunchy buttery top and a chewy, cookie like bottom.

Let's see how we can make strawberry rhubarb crumble bars:

Preparing oatmeal, flour and butter crust for strawberry rhubarb crumble bars

Start by making the crumb layer:

  • In a deep bowl combine, brown sugar, granulated sugar, flour, baking soda and salt mixing them together with your finger tips to break brown sugar clumps.
  • Add melted butter to the dry ingredients and mix well until everything is moistened evenly.

  • Press ⅔ of the crumb layer in the bottom of a 9x9 inch pan lined with parchment paper.
  • Make the strawberry rhubarb filling, pour it over the bottom then top with the rest of the oat mixture.

Bake in the oven until it browns nicely on top, take it out, let it cool down then cut.

They’re the perfect treat for spring and summertime, an all time favorite bars, and can be easily made with whatever fruit you have.
