    This is a great recipe to have in your repertoire. I have more easy strawberry desserts on the blog such as my berry crumble, my mini apple and strawberry almond flour crumble or my strawberry shortcake tart. If you are up for a little challenge, you should consider baking these mini strawberry pies with almond cream and pastry cream.

    Above all, this is a perfect dessert or treat to bring to a potluck, summer picnic, or get-together. Having these little squares ready for grabs makes a great addition to the sweet table.

    Why you will love these strawberry crumble bars:

    • SIMPLE ingredients
    • EASY to prepare
    • CRUNCHY topping
    • DELICIOUS strawberries

    🥣 Ingredients Needed

    My secret: I love preparing something pretty but simple that will impress your guests. The buttery crust and the crunchy crumble on top are actually the same dough!

    Let's gather the ingredients and measure them before starting to bake. It makes the process smoother!

    • All purpose flour
    • Baking powder
    • Cold butter
    • Eggs, medium size
    • Brown sugar
    • Vanilla extract: can be skipped or replaced with any other extract such as almond or lemon
    • Fresh strawberries
    • Granulated sugar
    • Cornstarch: to help thicken the strawberry jam

    In terms of utensils, you will need:

    • a mixing bowl
    • a medium-size pot
    • a rectangular oven dish

    👩🏻‍🍳 Preparation

    First things first, prepare the dough. You will need simple ingredients that you most likely have in your pantry and fridge. Take some brown sugar, baking powder, flour from your cabinets, and eggs and butter from the fridge.

    One bowl and a few ingredients make it really simple.

    All there is to it is to mix the butter, flour, baking powder, and brown sugar together. If you have a pastry cutter, use that, otherwise, a fork and some elbow grease will do the job. Work the mixture until it looks like the picture above. Also, if you have one, a food processor could also be a great tool but make sure to just give a few pulses at a time. Add the beaten eggs and set this crust aside.

    The butter should be cold from the fridge so you can achieve this result. Soft or melted butter will change the texture of the dough. This is not what we need! Refrain from using your hands as the warmth of it will melt the butter.

    From this batch of dough, set aside about 2 cups of the mixture. It will be used for the crumb topping.

    In an ovenproof dish (mine is 7x11), place some parchment paper and using your hands you will spread evenly and push in the dish to form your base crust.

    The fresh strawberries: Let's take care of these babies by washing them thoroughly. Cut the stem and place them in a bowl. Toss them with some granulated sugar and the cornstarch.

    The combination of these ingredients will allow for the strawberries to give a jam-like texture but not too runny. Just perfect!

    Finally, you are almost done! Spread the strawberries evenly on the crust. Now take the crumb crust you had set aside and spread it over.

    2 important things left to do:

    Baking it.

    Waiting for it to cool completely! Ahah this part is the most difficult step of the recipe!

    Can I Use Frozen Strawberries To Make the Crumb Bars?

    The strawberry filling is easy and important. My main recommendation would be to use fresh strawberries and alternatively another fresh fruit.

    However, if you only have frozen strawberries to make these bars, and you are craving them, go ahead. But, be aware that the bottom crust might be a little soggier as the frozen fruits will release more moisture.

    A Few Last Tips Before Baking

    - Read the whole recipe card but also refer to my comment in this article. I test and spend time explaining to make sure you get exactly the results I got.

    - Fresh strawberries are my first recommendation and choice. You may use frozen ones but be aware if will be more juicy but delicious nonetheless. If you are thinking of using jam, you will get a sweeter result.

    - WAIT: Your strawberry crumble bar needs to be completely cooled down before you cut it into squares.

    - HAVE FUN AND ENJOY!
