Ingredients

For the Crust:

  • 2 cups old-fashioned oats
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour or all-purpose
  • cup brown sugar
  • 1 ½ sticks unsalted butter chilled
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Strawberry Rhubarb Topping:

  • 9 oz. strawberry rhubarb jam
  • ¼ cup fresh strawberries chopped
  • ¼ cup frozen rhubarb thawed and patted dry

Instructions

INSTRUCTIONS

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a 9×13 baking dish with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the oatmeal, flour, brown sugar and salt.
  • Cut the butter into pieces and add to the bowl. Use a pastry cutter or two forks to cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Set aside 1 cup of the mixture.
  • Press the remaining mixture into the prepared baking dish into an even layer.
  • Bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown.
  • Remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes.
  • Spread the strawberry rhubarb jam on top of the crust. Add the strawberries and rhubarb on top and then sprinkle the remaining crumb mixture on top.
  • Bake for 35 minutes or until the top is golden brown.
  • Cool to room temperature and then refrigerate for 2 hours (or up to overnight) before slicing and serving in 16 squares.

Notes

The crust will be thin and crumbly. Allowing it to harden up in the refrigerator before slicing makes it easier to cut into bars.
