RHUBARB OATMEAL BARS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350˚Make the Crust/Topping:
• mix the dry ingredients together
• cut the butter in chunks and drop it in the dry mix, cut in with a pastry blender or two knives, or use your hands mix it in
• keep mixing until it looks like coarse crumbs
• save off 1 cup of crumbs
• press the rest in the bottom of a 9X13 baking dish
• Make the Rhubarb Filling
• put the rhubarb, water (if using) and sugar in a sauce pan
• bring it to a boil over medium high heat, it will get very juicy as it cooks
• once it comes to a boil reduce the heat to keep it from scorching, just keep it bubbling lightly until the rhubarb is just starting to get soft
• remove 2/3 cup of the juice and whisk in the flour into it
• add it back in the pan and stir until thickened, cook and stir for 1-2 minutes and remove from the heat (you just made rhubarb gravy!)
• spread the rhubarb over the base layer in the 9X13 sprinkle with reserved crumbs
• bake for 30-35 minutes until top is lightly brown and the rhubarb is bubbly
• let it cool before you cut it for best results
