  • Yield: 12 bars 1x

Description

These chewy mango oatmeal crumble bars combine sweet mango filling with a buttery oat crumble topping for a perfect homemade snack that’s quick and easy to make.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (190g) rolled oats
  • 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup (150g) brown sugar, packed
  • 3/4 cup (170g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 large ripe mangoes, peeled and diced (about 2 cups/300g)
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp honey or maple syrup
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×9 inch pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
  2. In a large bowl, combine rolled oats, all-purpose flour, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt. Pour in melted butter and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Press half of the oat crumble mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan to form an even layer.
  4. In a medium bowl, toss diced mango with lemon juice, honey (or maple syrup), and cornstarch to thicken the filling.
  5. Spread the mango filling evenly over the base layer.
  6. Top with the remaining oat crumble mixture, leaving it loose for a crispy topping.
  7. Bake for 35-40 minutes until the crumble is golden brown and the mango filling is bubbling. Check at 30 minutes if your oven runs hot.
  8. Cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before slicing.
  9. Slice into 12 bars using a sharp knife, wiping it between cuts for neat edges.

Notes

Use ripe but firm mangoes to avoid soggy bars. If mango is very juicy, add extra cornstarch to thicken the filling. Do not overmix the crumble to keep texture. Let bars cool completely before slicing for best results. Rotate pan halfway through baking if your oven has hot spots. For vegan version, substitute butter with coconut oil and honey with maple syrup.
