Strawberry Rhubarb Coconut Crumble Bars

Strawberry Rhubarb Crumble Bars

Strawberry season has arrived! These Strawberry Rhubarb Coconut Crumble Bars are the perfect way to celebrate the season for breakfast, snack or dessert.

I mean look at them don’t you just want to grab one right now and take a bite?! I know I do!

Strawberry Rhubarb Crumble Bars After our adventure strawberry picking last weekend and also discovering that we have rhubarb growing in our backyard (woohoo!) I knew I had a lot of cooking ahead of me. I of course whipped up a batch of my Strawberry Rhubarb Sauce but was also craving crisp, but something I could eat with my hands! I remember making these Peach Blueberry Crisp Bars last summer and decided instead to make a few adjustments and make them into Strawberry Rhubarb Coconut Crumble Bars!

These crumble bars are OUT.OF.THIS.WORLD! There is nothing better than strawberry rhubarb this time of year and then when you pair it with coconut and toasted oats your mouth and mind will be blown! My hubby and I have been eating these bars for  breakfast, snack and dessert all week. Treats like this definitely don’t last long in our house!

I fed the little guy a few bites of the inside strawberry rhubarb mixture and some of the crust and let’s say he is just as much of a fan (and maybe even more) than we are.
