Fresh Strawberry Dessert
Strawberry season is on here in Oregon and my little garden strawberry patch is going to town this year. I’m loving trying out some new strawberry recipes with all the berries we are picking. I have made these crumble bars many times but have never made them with strawberries. Most of the time I make blueberry crumble bars. The beauty of this recipe is that it is delicious made with whatever kind of berry or fruit you have.
Another thing I love about these strawberry bars is that if I have strawberries I always have all the other ingredients needed for the recipe. If you don’t have fresh berries you can also make these bars with frozen berries, just make sure and drain them well.
