Since long I wanted to visit a berry farm and pick berries on my own. This year my wish was fulfilled and we went on a day trip to a berry farm not very far from our house. We picked tons of strawberries, blueberries and some blackberries. The strawberries were so fresh and sweet that we had more than half in first two days but were left with lot more. I made breakfast smoothie with the rest but some were still left with which I made these strawberry crumb bars.
These strawberry crumb bars came out so well. They were crispy on the outside but soft and gooey inside. Perfect with a scoop of vanilla ice-cream or whipped cream.
These bars not only tasted good but was very simple and easy to prepare. This summer give this recipe a shot and I am sure you’ll love it.
Tips:
You can mix the crumb in a food processor. Simply just pulse couple of times to form a crumb like mix. You can substitute strawberries with any other fruits of your choice. Stays well for couple of days but tastes best on the day of baking.
