Ingredients
  

For the crust and topping:

1 cup rolled oats

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup brown sugar, packed

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

For the rhubarb filling:

2 cups fresh rhubarb, chopped into 1/2-inch pieces

1/2 cup granulated sugar

2 tablespoons cornstarch

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Juice of 1/2 lemon

For the glaze (optional):

1 cup powdered sugar

2 tablespoons milk

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

--

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x9-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.

    Prepare the Oatmeal Crust: In a medium bowl, combine the rolled oats, flour, brown sugar, softened butter, salt, and cinnamon. Mix until crumbly. Press about 2/3 of this mixture into the bottom of the prepared baking dish to form the crust.

      Make the Rhubarb Filling: In a separate bowl, combine the chopped rhubarb, granulated sugar, cornstarch, vanilla extract, and lemon juice. Stir until the rhubarb is well coated.

        Assemble the Bars: Spread the rhubarb filling evenly over the crust in the baking dish. Sprinkle the remaining oat mixture over the top to create a crumbly topping.

          Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the rhubarb is bubbling.

            Cool: Remove the baking dish from the oven and let it cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.

              Prepare the Glaze (optional): In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Drizzle over the cooled bars if desired.

                Slice and Serve: Cut into squares or bars and serve. Enjoy your delicious oatmeal rhubarb bars with a cup of tea or coffee!
