strawberry bars

These easy Strawberry Crumb Bars, with a buttery crust, sweet fresh strawberry filling, and crunchy butter crumb topping make wonderful dessert bars to take to a summer party, picnic, or potluck.

Strawberry Crumb Bars

white sugar

baking powder

all-purpose flour

salt

egg, (beaten)

vanilla

strawberries, (chopped)

cornstarch

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.&nbsp;

Place parchment paper on the bottom of the 8x8 pan that hangs over the side of the pan. (This is to make it easier to remove the Strawberry Crumb Bars after cooking.)

In a medium bowl, stir together 1/2 cup white sugar, flour, baking powder and salt.

Using a fork or a pastry cutter, cut the butter into the flour mixture. (VERY IMPORTANT:  Make sure the butter is very cold.) Work with the dough until the pieces are very small. Dough will be crumbly.  You can also pulse in a food processor to until you get pea sized crumbs.

In a separate measuring cup or small bowl, beat an egg with a fork. Add the egg and vanilla to the flour mixture, and combine until you have a crumbly mixture.

Pat half of the dough evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan.

In another bowl, stir together 1/3 cup sugar and cornstarch. Stir in the strawberries.&nbsp;

Spoon the strawberry mixture evenly over the bottom crust.

Crumble the remaining dough over the strawberry filling layer.

Bake in a preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until top is slightly golden brown. (My oven runs hot and baked in about 38 minutes.)

Cool completely before cutting into squares. I recommend refrigerating until ready to serve.

almond milk

strawberries

chia seeds

Strawberry Zevia

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Line an 8×8 or 9×9 square pan with parchment paper and grease lightly. Set aside.

In a saucepan over medium heat, cook the strawberries until they start to break down and can be mashed with the back of a spoon, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat. Add the chia seeds and Zevia. 

In a food processor, combine the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, oats, dates, cinnamon, salt, olive oil, and almond milk. Pulse together until the batter starts to come together. 

Take half of the mixture and press firmly it into the bottom of the prepared pan. Spread the strawberry filling over the crust. 

Sprinkle the rest of the crumble mixture over the top of the filling, until all has been used.

Bake for 50 minutes, or until filling is bubbly and top is golden brown.

Remove from oven and after the bars have cooled for 10 minutes, chill for at least 30 minutes before cutting.

Strawberry Lemon Bars - Lemon and strawberry custard just floating on top of a buttery, nut cookie base! Sweet, sour, crunchy and buttery all in one nibble.

Strawberry Lemon Bars

butter

all purpose flour

almonds (chopped)

sugar

strawberries ((or 1/2 cup jam))

eggs

tsp baking powder

lemon juice

lemon (zest)

An egg is the organic vessel containing the zygote in which an animal embryo develops until it can survive on its own, at which point the animal hatches. An egg results from fertilization of an ovum. Most arthropods, vertebrates, and mollusks lay eggs, although some do not, such as scorpions and most mammals. Reproductive structures...

Lemon Juice

Preheat oven to 350˚F. In a food processor place the butter, 2 cups of flour, almonds and 1/4 cup powdered sugar and mix until this forms a ball, scraping sides as needed to incorporate all. Press this mixture into a 13”x9" pan that has been sprayed with Pam or greased with butter. Form a 1/2" rim around the edges and bake for 15 minutes.

Cookie Base

Either use a strawberry jam already made and omit the 1/4 cup sugar OR make fresh using strawberries and 1/4 sugar. If making fresh: wash and trim tops off of strawberries. Place in a small saucepan and add the 1/4 cup of sugar. Cook on low and mash with spoon as strawberries cook down and thicken, 8-10 minutes. Set aside to cool.

Strawberry Jam

In a mixing bowl whisk the eggs, 2 cups of sugar, the remaining 1/4 cup of flour, baking powder, lemon juice, and lemon zest until smooth.

Custard Filling

Pour custard filling mixture over the baked cookie base and spread to cover completely, staying inside the rim of the cookie dough.

Using a spoon, drop cooked strawberries or jam on top of lemon mixture and swirl slightly.

Bake for another 30 minutes until the filling is set, and the edges are golden brown. Cool completely and then sift the 1/3 cup of powdered sugar evenly over the top. Cut into bars and serve.

Assembly

These strawberry crumb bars feature a buttery shortbread base topped with a bright, slightly tart strawberry filling and a golden crumble. They’re a simple, irresistible treat that’s perfect for sharing!

Easy Strawberry Crumb Bars (Buttery & Tart!)

(omit

sugar (also known as icing/confectioners' sugar)

unsalted butter

tsps lemon juice (fresh)

tbsps white granulated sugar

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) conventional (see note 1 if using a fan-forced convection oven). Lightly grease an 8x8-inch baking tin and line it with a long sheet of parchment paper so it comes up the sides with a bit of overhang—this just makes it easier to lift the bars out later. Set aside for now.

To a food processor, add all-purpose flour, cornstarch, powdered sugar, and salt. Mix for about 5 seconds to allow all the dry ingredients to combine well. Next, add in the cold unsalted butter that has been cut into small cubes and mix until the mixture resembles a sand-like consistency (see note 2 if doing this step by hand).

Transfer two-thirds of the mixture to the lined baking pan and spread it out evenly. Using your hands (or something with a flat bottom), press the crumbs into the base of the tin in an even layer. Once done, the base should look well combined and not loose.

Bake for 15 minutes, or until the top is lightly browned.

While the crust is baking, in a large bowl add the chopped strawberries along with the cornstarch, lemon juice, and sugar. Give it a good mix until everything is nicely combined, then spread evenly over the warm crust.

Lightly mix the remaining dough with your hands while gently pressing to form crumbs (the butter will be slightly softer by now, so the dough will hold together when pressed). Sprinkle the crumbs evenly over the strawberries.

Bake for another 35 minutes, or until the top is lightly browned and the strawberries are bubbling around the edges.

Let the bars cool completely in the tin (about an hour), then place in the fridge for another hour to firm up. Remove from the fridge and run a thin knife along the edges of the pan where there is no parchment to help release the bars, then use the parchment overhang to carefully lift them out. It may bend slightly as you lift, but it shouldn’t break apart. Slice and enjoy!

I give this recipe my thumbs up .10 out of 10

These Strawberry Blondies have a double dose of strawberries with jammy fresh berries nestled into a butterscotchy brown butter base, finished with a pretty pink sprinkle of freeze dried strawberry powder. They've got just the right amount of chewy softness with a balance of rich and fresh flavors.

Strawberry Blondies

ginger

fine sea salt

brown sugar

eggs (- at room temperature)

vanilla extract

strawberries (- hulled)

Preheat oven to 350°F. Line 9x9x2-inch metal baking pan with parchment paper, extending over the sides by 2 inches.

Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Swirl the pan occasionally to be sure the butter is cooking evenly.&nbsp;As the butter melts, it will start to turn from bright yellow to a deeper golden color and toasty bits will start forming around the edges. When the butter starts to foam up and give off a nutty aroma, the brown bits will start to really show up. take it off the heat immediately to avoid burning. Pour the butter and scrape the browned bits into a heatproof bowl or liquid measuring cup to cool down for about 15 minutes.

Whisk flour, baking powder, ginger and salt, and in medium bowl to mix.

Once the butter is cool to the touch, combine the butter&nbsp;and brown sugar in a medium sized mixing bowl and whisk together until combined. Stir in the egg and vanilla until completely combined. Using a spatula, fold in the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.&nbsp;

Spread the blondie batter into the prepared pan, using a spatula or your hands to press it into the pan evenly. Arrange the strawberries evenly over the top of the batter, then gently press them into the batter.

Bake until a tester inserted in the center comes out with just a few crumbs, somewhere between 25-30-ish minutes. The edges should be a deep golden color and look firm and well-baked. The center should be moist but not gooey.&nbsp;

Cool in the pan on a wire rack. While the blondies cool, grind the freeze dried strawberries into a fine powder using a mortar and pestle or by putting them in a ziplock baggie and smashing them with a rolling pin. Once they are crushed into a powder, sift the freeze dried strawberry powder through a fine mesh sieve. Then sift in powdered sugar and whisk until blended.

Once the blondies have cooled for at least 40 minutes to an hour, gently lift the excess parchment and lift the blondie slab out of the pan and onto a cutting board. Sift the strawberry powder mix over the top of the Strawberry Blondies. Cut into 12 squares and serve while still warm!
