Bake, cool, and serve: Bake in the oven for 25 to 30 minutes or until the topping is golden brown and set. Let the shortcake bars cool completely before slicing and serving.
Storing and Freezing Instructions:
To Store: Strawberry shortcake crumb bars are best enjoyed fresh. If you have leftovers, however, tightly wrap the bars in plastic wrap or wax paper, place the wrapped shortcake bars in an airtight container, and keep them in the refrigerator. The bars will keep for up to two weeks, but you might notice the shortbread getting soggy with juice from the strawberries.
To Freeze: Strawberry shortcake crumb bars can be frozen for up to three months. Make sure to separate the bars with parchment paper to stop them from sticking together. It’s also best to eat frozen bars while frozen to prevent the strawberries from becoming mushy.
Recipe Variations:
Blueberry: Swap the strawberries for blueberries, following the same steps. Enjoy a different fruity flavor that’s just as yummy!
Mango and Pineapple: Swap the strawberries with diced mango and pineapple instead for a fun tropical taste. Use one and a ¼ cup of mango and the same amount of pineapple to replace the strawberries.
Apple: Replace the strawberries with the same amount of chopped or thinly sliced apple and sprinkle some cinnamon on top. This treat tastes just like apple pie but in bar form.
Raspberry: Try using raspberries instead of strawberries for a tangy and sweet flavor. They’ll give your bars a delicious but slightly more sour flavor.
