Looking for a healthy snack to serve the kids? Or maybe even for yourself? Ditch those store-bought snack bars for something a little healthier and guilt-free such as these strawberry rhubarb buckwheat bars. They may sound intricate, but they are extremely simple to make. The crust of the bar is made from molasses, whole wheat flour, buckwheat flour, coconut sugar, and a few other key baking ingredients. Molasses and buckwheat flour have a lot of hidden benefits for your body that make it healthier than sugar and white flour, respectively.
To create this dish, place all the ingredients in a food processor until well-combined and then press it into a baking pan. Once baked for 10 minutes, the bars are ready for the filling. The filling is made from strawberries, rhubarb, preserves, cornstarch, and lemon juice. This mixture is heated in a saucepan until it reaches the correct consistency. Once it has finished cooking, pour it over the crust ,top it off with the remaining crumble, and bake. Voila! You have your summer snack all ready for the kids and you.
