Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Rolled oats
- 0.75 cup Brown sugar
- 0.5 cup Butter, melted
- 2 cups Rhubarb, diced
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8x8-inch baking dish and line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a medium bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, rolled oats, and brown sugar. Stir until well mixed.
Pour in the melted butter and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Press two-thirds of the mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish to form the crust. Set the remaining mixture aside for the topping.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the diced rhubarb, granulated sugar, cornstarch, and vanilla extract.
Cook the rhubarb mixture while stirring frequently until it thickens, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
Spread the rhubarb filling evenly over the crust in the baking dish.
Sprinkle the reserved oatmeal mixture evenly over the rhubarb layer, gently pressing it down.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until the topping is golden brown.
Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before cutting into squares. Serve and enjoy!
