Gluten Free Strawberry Crumble Bars

These Gluten Free Strawberry Crumble Bars are an easy treat  inspired by a classic dessert. Layered with a buttery gluten free crust,  fresh strawberries, and an oat crumble, they’re easy to make and  perfect for summer!

Strawberry crumble bars are traditionally made with a rich and buttery  shortbread crust and a streusel topping. While delicious, I wanted to  make a gluten free version that’s lighter, healthier, and suitable for a  wide range of dietary needs. One try and you’ll be making batch after  batch of strawberry bars for all of your summer events!

In a large bowl mix dry ingredients (5 first ingredients) to combine.

1

Melt butter and add in vanilla extract, whisk to combine.

2

Add butter to dry ingredients and mix using a wooden spoon, until  equally moist. The mixture will still be crumby. Reserve ½ cup for  later.

3

Pour crumby mixture in to the prepared pan and press it down and into  the sides. Arrange strawberries slices side-by-side on top of the crumby  oat mixture. Sprinkle white sweetener/ sugar over the strawberries. Top  with remaining oat crumbs and bake for 35-40 minutes.
