Ingredients:
- 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 2 cups rhubarb, chopped
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grab a square baking dish (about 9×9 inches) and grease it lightly with butter or cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, mix together the sliced strawberries, chopped rhubarb, granulated sugar, cornstarch, vanilla extract, and lemon juice. Let it sit while you prepare the crust.
- In another bowl, combine the flour, oats, brown sugar, softened butter, and salt. Mix it until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Press about two-thirds of the crumb mixture into the bottom of the prepared baking dish. This will form your crust.
- Pour the strawberry-rhubarb mixture over the crust, spreading it evenly. Now, sprinkle the remaining crumb mixture on top of the fruit. Don’t be shy, heap it on!
- Pop it in the oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
- Let it cool for a bit before slicing into squares. Serve them warm or at room temperature—either way, you’re in for a treat!
