These easy rhubarb bars only require an oatmeal crumb base and a sweet and tangy cooked rhubarb filling, making a soft rhubarb bar that is nicely textured and has the perfect balance of sweet and tangy!
| 1 cup old fashioned rolled oats |
| 3/4 cup all purpose flour |
| 1/2 cup butter softened |
| 1/8 teaspoon salt |
| 1/8 teaspoon baking soda |
| 1/2 cup brown sugar packed |
| 1 1/2 cups chopped rhubarb |
| 3/4 cup granulated sugar |
| 1 tablespoon cornstarch heaping |
| 2 tablespoons water |
| 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract |
Yield: ["9"]
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Combine the ingredients for the crumb topping in a medium sized mixing bowl, mixing until only coarse crumbs remain.
Combine the chopped rhubarb, sugar, cornstarch and water in a 2 quart saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat stirring frequently. Allow to cook for 5-10 minutes until the mixture is clear and the rhubarb has softened (keep stirring occasionally while cooking). Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract, then allow to cool for 10 minutes, until no longer hot and the mixture has thickened a little more.
Press all but 2/3 cup of the oatmeal crumbs into the bottom of a greased or parchment lined 8 by 8 inch baking dish, ensuring no cracks remain. Pour the warm rhubarb filling over the oatmeal crumb base, then sprinkle the remaining crumbs over top.
Bake the rhubarb bars in the preheated oven for 30-40 minutes until golden on the bottom and the filling and crumb topping has set. Cool completely before cutting, then enjoy!
