Small-Batch Strawberry Crumb Bars
Description
Low-sugar strawberry compote is sandwiched between a simple dough to make this small batch of strawberry crumb bars.
Ingredients
•
nonstick cooking spray
•
1 1/2 cups self-rising flour
•
1/2 cup white sugar
•
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, divided
•
1/2 cup unsalted butter, cut into 8 pieces
•
1 egg
•
1/3 cup low-sugar strawberry compote
•
2 tablespoons rolled oats
Directions
1
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease a 8x6-inch pan and line with parchment paper.
2
Whisk flour, sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon together in a large bowl. Cut in butter until the pieces look like small pebbles. Cut in egg with a pastry cutter. Blend dough together with a gentle kneading motion. Set aside 1/2 cup dough for the topping.
3
Pat remaining dough into the bottom of the prepared pan. Top with strawberry compote.
4
Add oats and remaining cinnamon to the reserved dough. Pinch off pieces of dough and cover the strawberry compote as much as possible.
5
Bake in the preheated oven until the top is golden brown and the edges pull away from the sides of the pan, 40 to 45 minutes. Cool completely before serving.
