Ingredients
  

Rhubarb Filling:
  • 3 cups chopped rhubarb
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
Oat Crust & Crumble:
  • 1 ½ cups old-fashioned oats
  • 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
  • ¾ cup brown sugar
  • ½ tsp cinnamon
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ¾ cup unsalted butter melted

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8-inch pan with parchment paper.
  2. Prepare the filling: In a saucepan over medium heat, cook rhubarb, sugar, lemon juice, and cornstarch until thick and bubbly (about 8–10 minutes). Stir in vanilla. Let cool.
  3. Make the oat mixture: In a large bowl, mix oats, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt. Stir in melted butter until crumbly.
  4. Assemble: Press 2/3 of the oat mixture into the bottom of the pan. Spread rhubarb filling on top. Crumble remaining oat mixture over the filling.
  5. Bake for 35–40 minutes until golden brown. Cool completely before cutting into bars.
