Description
Rhubarb Dream Bars are a delicious dessert featuring a crumbly crust topped with a sweet and tangy rhubarb filling.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cups fresh rhubarb, chopped (about 4–5 stalks)
- 1 cup granulated sugar (for filling)
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (for filling)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×9-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
- In a medium bowl, combine 1 ½ cups flour, ½ cup sugar, and salt. Stir in the melted butter until the mixture is crumbly.
- Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan to form the crust.
- In another bowl, mix the chopped rhubarb with 1 cup sugar, eggs, 2 tablespoons flour, vanilla extract, and baking powder until well combined.
- Pour this rhubarb filling over the crust in the baking pan.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is lightly golden.
- Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before cutting into squares.
Notes
- These bars can be served warm or chilled.
- For a refreshing twist, consider serving them with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
- For a sweeter flavor, add a teaspoon of cinnamon to the filling mixture.
- You can substitute the rhubarb with strawberries or a mix of berries for a different fruity twist.
