Plum Crumble Bars with Oats
Part pie, part cookie, all delicious. These buttery plum crumble bars are easy to make, loaded with juicy fruit, and topped with a golden oat crunch. The perfect lazy baker's treat.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup rolled oats not instant
- ¾ cup brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter cold and cubed
- 4–5 ripe plums sliced, about 2 cups
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- ¼ cup granulated sugar for the fruit layer
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon optional
Instructions
- Grease an 8x8-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a bowl, mix flour, oats, brown sugar, and salt. Cut in cold butter using a pastry cutter or fingers until the mixture resembles coarse sand.
- Press two-thirds of the crumble mix into the pan to form the crust.

- Sprinkle remaining crumble mix over the top without packing it down.
- Bake for 40–45 minutes until golden and bubbling. Let cool completely before slicing.
Notes
Store at room temperature in an airtight container for 2–3 days or refrigerate up to 5 days. Freeze individually wrapped bars for up to 3 months. Let bars come to room temperature before eating for best texture.
