Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Salted butter, softened
- 2 Eggs
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 cups Chopped rhubarb
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine 1 cup all-purpose flour and 2 tablespoons granulated sugar.
Cut in the 1/2 cup softened butter using a fork or pastry cutter until the mixture forms coarse crumbs.
Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan to form the crust.
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.
While the crust is baking, prepare the filling. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 2 eggs, 3/4 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
Fold in the 2 cups of chopped rhubarb until evenly distributed.
Pour the rhubarb filling over the slightly cooled crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Return the pan to the oven and bake for an additional 30 minutes, or until the filling is set and lightly golden on top.
Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before cutting into squares.
Serve and enjoy your Rhubarb Dream Bars as a sweet and tangy treat!
