Description
Mango Oatmeal Crumble Bars are a delicious and healthy treat made with rolled oats, ripe mango, and a crumbly topping.
Ingredients
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup ripe mango, diced (about 2 medium mangoes)
- 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×9-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
- In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, flour, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix well.
- Pour the melted butter into the dry ingredients and stir until the mixture is crumbly and well combined. Reserve 1 cup of this mixture for the topping.
- In a separate bowl, mix the diced mango, honey (or maple syrup), lemon juice, and vanilla extract until the mango is well coated.
- Press the remaining oat mixture into the bottom of the prepared baking pan to form a crust.
- Spread the mango mixture evenly over the crust.
- Sprinkle the reserved oat mixture over the top of the mango layer.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown.
- Allow the bars to cool in the pan for at least 15 minutes before cutting into squares. For best results, chill in the refrigerator for an hour before serving.
Notes
- For added flavor, consider mixing in a teaspoon of cinnamon or nutmeg into the oat mixture.
- Substitute the mango with other fruits like peaches, blueberries, or apples for a different twist on the bars.
