    What I love most about these bars is they work so well with ANY fruit flavour. I do love the berries most but any stone fruit is easily just as delicious. I glaze them with a lemon glaze but they taste great without it too.

    Brown butter...oh how I LOVE brown butter. Nothing beats that flavour and the smell...ugh, I need a brown butter candle. So with the brown butter base and the strawberry jam, this works wonderfully together. The crumb adds that extra crunch and flavour.

    I truly love the Brown Butter Strawberry Crumb Bars! To be honest, bars are one of my favourite things!

    Prep Time 15 mins
    Cook Time 1 hr 5 mins
    Cuisine American
    Servings 16 bars

    Ingredients
      

    Crust & Crumbs:

    • 14 Tbsp unsalted butter
    • ¼ cup sugar
    • ¼ cup light brown sugar
    • 2 tsp vanilla extract
    • 2 ¼ cups flour
    • ¼ tsp baking soda
    • ¼ tsp salt

    Filling:

    • ¾ cup sugar
    • ⅛ tsp salt
    • 1 ½ Tbsp cornstarch
    • 2 cups sliced strawberries
    • 1 tsp fresh lemon juice

    Glaze:

    • 1 tsp vanilla extract
    • ¾ cup powdered sugar sifted
    • 2-3 Tbsp milk
    • 1 tsp Lemon Zest

    Instructions
     

    • Preheat oven to 350°F and line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper.
    • Cook butter in a heavy saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly until it foams, turns clear, and then turns a medium brown, about 5 minutes. Add brown butter to a large bowl and whisk in sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla until combined.
    • Whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl; add to butter mixture and fold in until incorporated. Reserve ¾ cup of dough for topping (keep chilled); press remaining dough evenly into bottom of prepared pan. Bake crust for 14 to 16 minutes, until lightly golden and set. Transfer to a wire rack and cool for 15 minutes.

    Filling:

    • Combine sugar, salt, and cornstarch in a medium bowl. Add strawberries and lemon juice, tossing gently to combine. Spoon mixture over cooled crust and crumble reserved dough over filling.
    • Bake for another 45 to 50 minutes, or until topping is golden and filling slightly bubbly. Cool completely in pan on a wire rack. Just before cutting, chill in the freezer for 15 minutes. Carefully lift parchment and place bars on a cutting board; cut into squares with a sharp knife.

    Glaze:

    • Whisk together ingredients in a small bowl. Drizzle glaze over bars and let set before serving. Store leftover bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
