Description
Delightful Strawberry Crumb Bars combining sweet and tart flavors with a buttery crumb base.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, chopped
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a baking dish to prevent sticking.
- In a bowl, mix together flour, softened butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt. Blend until the mixture turns crumbly.
- Press half of the mixture firmly into the greased baking dish. This will form your crust.
- In another bowl, combine the chopped strawberries with cornstarch, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Mix well to coat the strawberries evenly.
- Spread the strawberry mixture evenly over the crust, ensuring it’s distributed nicely.
- Crumble the rest of the crumb mixture on top of the strawberries.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the filling bubbles slightly.
- Let it cool before cutting into bars and serving.
Notes
Use fresh strawberries for the best flavor and texture. Allow bars to cool completely for clean cutting.
