Ingredients
Crumble Ingredients
- 1½ cups oatmeal
- 1½ cups brown sugar
- 1½ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ tsp baking soda
- 1 cup butter
Rhubarb Filling Ingredients
- 3 cups rhubarb, cut into ½-inch pieces
- 1½ cups granulated sugar
- ¼ cup water
- 2 tbsp corn starch or arrowroot powder
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 ℉.
- Wash and slice rhubarb into ½ pieces; set aside.
- In large mixing bowl, combine dry ingredients. Cut in butter. This will be your base layer and your crumble topping. Press ⅔ of the crumble mixture in an even layer in a 9 X 13 pan; set aside.
- In a small bowl, combine arrowroot powder and water until the arrowroot powder is dissolved. Add to saucepan with sliced rhubarb. Cook rhubarb and arrowroot mixture over medium heat until the rhubarb is soft, and the liquid becomes thicker, stirring continuously.
- Once the rhubarb is cooked, add vanilla extract and continue to stir. Pour cooked rhubarb filling over base layer. Take remaining crumble mixture and sprinkle over the top of the rhubarb filling layer.
- Bake at 375 ℉ for 30 minutes or until the oatmeal crumble is golden brown.
- Remove from oven and set on wire rack to cool.
- Cut into 24 bars when cool.
- Store bars in an airtight container at room temperature.
