When you see strawberries and rhubarb on the dessert menu, it’s a sure sign summer is here. This quick, easy and very popular recipe is wonderful for summer picnics and gatherings.  

I’ve read somewhere that these scrumptious Awesome Strawberry Rhubarb Oatmeal Bars won a Pennsylvania State Fair Butter Cookie Contest and it’s no wonder with the mouth-watering sweet and tart flavors of strawberry and rhubarb pie flavor baked with a yummy oatmeal crust.  I’m sorry I don’t know who to credit here, but…

*Promising you won’t stop at one.*

The flavor combinations are unbeatable. Really!

Some people turn their noses up at rhubarb, and it’s no wonder.  It’s super sour and not eatable by itself, unless you like that kind of taste?

 But when you add some sugar and strawberries to the rhubarb and cook them down over the stove, it changes the taste completely and it’s pretty awesome.

    So amazingly delicious but needed to be baked longer. I don’t know maybe I overdid it with the fruit. But extremely tasty, will definitely make again

    This is soooo spectacular! I was a little short on rhubarb (my first crop ever in the south), so I added a few extra strawberries. Still amazing with my coffee this morning. Thank you for sharing–and great photos.

    Delicious!
    For me the filling was a bit thin for how thick the crust was, so I think I’ll do a batch with double the filling. Either way these are fantastic though.
