Ingredients

Scale

Crust and Crumble Topping

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup old-fashioned whole-rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste)

Mango Filling

  • 2 cups coarsely chopped fresh ripe mango
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons corn starch

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8-inch square pan with aluminum foil and spray with cooking spray to prevent sticking and ease cleanup.
  2. Melt Butter: In a large, microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter by microwaving it on high for about 1 minute until fully melted.
  3. Make Crust and Crumble Mixture: Add the all-purpose flour, rolled oats, granulated sugar, light brown sugar, and salt to the melted butter. Stir well until the mixture is dry and sandy with some large crumble pieces.
  4. Reserve Crumble Topping: Set aside 1 heaping cup of this mixture for the crumble topping later.
  5. Form the Crust: Press the remaining oat mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan using a spatula or your fingers to create a smooth crust layer.
  6. Prepare Mango Filling: In a large bowl, combine the chopped mango, granulated sugar, lemon juice, and corn starch. Toss until well mixed, even if some sugar hasn’t fully dissolved.
  7. Assemble Bars: Evenly distribute the mango filling over the pressed crust layer in the pan.
  8. Add Crumble Topping: Sprinkle the reserved oat mixture evenly over the mango layer. For larger crumbs, squeeze the mixture in your palm before sprinkling.
  9. Bake: Bake for about 50 minutes or until the edges are set and the center just sets. The crumble topping should be pale golden, and the mango filling might bubble at the edges. Baking may take slightly longer if the mangoes are very juicy, so watch for doneness rather than relying solely on time.
  10. Cool and Serve: Remove the pan from the oven and place it on a wire rack. Allow bars to cool completely for at least 1 hour before slicing to prevent them from falling apart. Store bars airtight at room temperature for up to 1 week, refrigerate for up to 10 days, or freeze for up to 6 months.

Notes

  • Lining the baking pan with aluminum foil helps with easy cleanup and is recommended.
  • For bigger crumble pieces, squeeze the crumble mixture in your palm before sprinkling over the mango filling.
  • Do not slice the bars before they have completely cooled to avoid messiness and breakage.
  • Bars keep well and can be stored at room temperature, refrigerated, or frozen depending on how long you want to keep them.
  • Recipe adapted from Blueberry Oatmeal Crumble Bars and Strawberry Oatmeal Crumble Bars for a mango twist.
