Ingredients
Oat Crumble:
- 1 ½ cups old-fashioned oats
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¾ cup (1 ½ sticks) cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes
Rhubarb Filling:
- 3 cups chopped rhubarb
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tbsp cornstarch
- ½ cup water
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch pan or line it with parchment paper.
- Prepare the Oat Crumble: In a large bowl, combine oats, flour, brown sugar, baking soda, and salt. Cut in the butter using a pastry cutter or your hands until the mixture is crumbly and holds together when squeezed.
- Prepare the Filling: In a saucepan, stir together rhubarb, sugar, cornstarch, and water. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring constantly until it thickens, about 5–7 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla.
- Assemble the Bars: Press half of the oat mixture into the bottom of the pan. Pour the rhubarb filling evenly over the crust, then sprinkle the remaining oat mixture over the top.
- Bake and Cool: Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. Let cool completely before cutting into bars.
