Description
Strawberry Shortcake Crumble Bars are a delightful treat that combines the sweetness of strawberries with a buttery crumble, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup granulated sugar (divided)
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup old-fashioned oats
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8×8-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, combine the sliced strawberries with 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar and set aside to macerate for about 10-15 minutes.
- In a large bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, remaining ½ cup of granulated sugar, oats, baking powder, and salt. Pour in the melted butter and vanilla extract, stirring until crumbly.
- Press about two-thirds of the crumble mixture into the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Spread the macerated strawberries evenly over the crust and sprinkle the remaining crumble mixture on top.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the strawberry filling is bubbly.
- Allow to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack, then lift out using parchment paper and cut into squares.
Notes
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days or in the refrigerator for longer storage.
- To reheat, warm in the microwave for a few seconds.
- For freezing, wrap each bar in plastic wrap and place in a freezer-safe bag; they can last up to three months.
