These Strawberry Crumble Bars are irresistible! Soft and chewy with a thick and juicy strawberry filling and a buttery crumble topping!

I’m back! Did you miss me?

This year has been rough – from things happening in the world and crazy things happening in my personal life, so I had to take a little break. For the past few months I haven’t really focused on myself, so it was nice to relax, do things I wanted to do, take it easy, and practice some self-care.

But I am back with this amazing recipe and I hope you guys are excited for it!

At my local Safeway grocery store, there are always fresh, bountiful strawberries parked right at the store’s entrance and I happened to be inspired by them for this recipe. I just couldn’t resist when I caught them on a huge deal and saw how bright and juicy they were.

Since my Blueberry Crumb Bars have been a HUGE hit, I figured I’d make a strawberry version and I am so glad I did! These Strawberry Crumble Bars are super delicious and perfect for all strawberry lovers!

These have pure strawberry flavor – nothing artificial here – and they taste INCREDIBLE!

Strawberry Crumble Bars

These Strawberry Crumble Bars are absolutely divine! Soft and chewy bars with a buttery crust and crumble topping and a thick, juicy and sweet fresh strawberry filling.
Prep Time10 mins
Cook Time45 mins
Total Time55 mins
Course: Bars, Dessert
Cuisine: American, Dessert
Servings: 15

Ingredients

FOR THE CRUST AND CRUMBLE:

  • 1 cup granulated white sugar
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter cut into cubes
  • 1 large egg lightly beaten
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

FOR THE STRAWBERRY FILLING:

  • 4 cups fresh strawberries washed, dried, and chopped into small pieces
  • 1/2 cup granulated white sugar
  • 3 Tbsp cornstarch
  • 2 Tbsp lemon juice
  • Zest of one small lemon

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375° degrees F. Line a 9x13 light metal baking pan with foil, extending the sides of the foil over the edges of the pan. Spray the foil with cooking spray; set aside.
  • For the crust and crumb: In a large bowl, combine the sugar, baking powder, salt, and flour and mix well. Add in the cubed butter, beaten egg and vanilla and mix together using a pastry cutter or two forks, cutting the butter into the flour mixture until the mixture resembles small pebbles. Dough will be crumbly.
  • Press half of the dough into the prepared pan, using your hands to compress it into a nice, even layer. Set aside.
  • Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine the strawberries, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice and lemon zest, tossing to coat. Pour the strawberry mixture evenly over the crust in the pan. Crumble the remaining dough evenly over the surface of the strawberries.
  • Bake for 38-45 minutes or until the crumble topping is light golden brown, the strawberry mixture is bubbly and the bars appears set. Cool completely for about 1-2 hours before cutting into bars, or you may refrigerate.

Notes

I found a 2-lb package of strawberries yielded just about 4 cups of chopped strawberries.

    If I don’t have a light metal baking pan, will a 9×13 Pyrex dramatically alter the results? Thanks!

      Hi Tamara, it shouldn’t dramatically alter the results but the baking time will likely change. I recommend checking it at the time given to see if it is done, and if not, increasing the baking time for 2-3 minutes until done.

    Wow, these were everything I wanted them to be and more. The base/crumble worked so well for both layers. I was happy to make one mixture that served two purposes for these bars. They also cane off the foil beautifully, which doesn’t always happen for me when I make bars with a pressed, crumbly base. I did use a glass baking dish because it’s all I had, and I have no complaints. They baked up perfectly. No overdone crust or anything. I haven’t been this satisfied with a home-baked product in some time.
