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 (optional, 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 it with cooking spray to ensure easy cleanup.
  2. Melt Butter: In a large, microwave-safe bowl, melt the unsalted butter by heating it about 1 minute on high power until fully melted.
  3. Combine Crust Ingredients: Add the all-purpose flour, old-fashioned oats, granulated sugar, light brown sugar, and salt to the melted butter. Stir well until the mixture becomes dry and sandy with some larger crumble pieces.
  4. Reserve Topping: Set aside 1 heaping cup of this oat mixture to use later as the crumble topping.
  5. Form Crust: Press the remaining oat mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan to create an even, smooth crust layer. Use a spatula or your fingers for an even pack.
  6. Prepare Mango Filling: In the same large bowl, combine the chopped mango, granulated sugar, lemon juice, and corn starch. Toss gently to mix; some sugar may remain undissolved, but it will dissolve during baking.
  7. Assemble Bars: Spread the mango filling evenly over the crust in the pan.
  8. Add Crumble Topping: Sprinkle the reserved oat crumble mixture evenly over the mango layer. Squeeze the mixture in your palm slightly to encourage bigger crumble pieces before sprinkling.
  9. Bake: Bake the bars for approximately 50 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is just set. The topping should turn pale golden and the mango filling may bubble around the edges. Depending on mango juiciness, baking time may extend up to 55 minutes.
  10. Cool: 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 crumbling or falling apart.
  11. Store: Store bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week, in the refrigerator for up to 10 days, or freeze for up to 6 months.

Notes

  • Lining the pan with aluminum foil and spraying it helps with cleanup.
  • If mangoes are very juicy, baking time may be longer, so monitor bars visually rather than relying solely on time.
  • Allow bars to cool thoroughly before slicing to avoid messy, crumbly pieces.
  • This recipe is adapted from Blueberry and Strawberry Oatmeal Crumble Bars, substituting the fruit layer with fresh mango.
