Strawberry Crumb Bars

Ingredients

  • 2 c. flour
  • 1 c. sugar
  • 1 c. cold butter plus 2 Tbsp cut into small pieces.
  • ½ tsp. salt
  • ½ c. Quick Oats
  • ¼ c. brown sugar
  • 1 c. strawberries hulled and diced
  • ½ c. strawberry jam or jelly
  • ½ tsp. lemon juice
  • 1 c. powdered sugar
  • 1 c. white chocolate chips
  • 3 Tbsp heavy cream

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375°. Grease a 9x13 pan with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Combine flour sugar, and salt in an electric mixer. Turn the mixer on low and add 1 cup cold butter one piece at a time. Continue to mix until everything is well combined.
  • Set aside 1 cup of this mixture. Press the rest of it evenly into the bottom of the greased pan. Bake for 12 minutes, or until edges are slightly browned.
  • While the bottom layer is baking, add brown sugar and Quick Oats to the remaining mixture in the mixer. Add the remaining 2 Tbsp butter and mix until the mixture turns clumpy. You can also do this part with your hands.
  • Combine strawberries, jam or jelly, and lemon juice in a small bowl. Use a fork to combine everything a mash up the strawberries, leaving some chunks, if desired.
  • Remove cookie crust from the oven and spread strawberry mixture evenly over top. Sprinkle crumble mixture over top. Bake 20 more minutes. Allow bars to cool before cutting.
  • Prepare glaze by placing white chocolate chips and heavy cream in a microwave save bowl. Microwave for 30 seconds, stir, 30 more seconds, then stir again until creamy. Heat for longer if chocolate is still chunky. Add powdered sugar and mix well.
  • Place mixture in a small ziplock baggy and cut a small piece off one of the corners. Swirl on the glaze over each bar. Enjoy!
