This recipe promises to be easy–one bowl, no mixer–and delicious. Described as a “cross between a soft bar cookie and a streusel-topped crumb bar,” this recipe relies on the natural sweetness of the strawberries and calls for only a bit of brown sugar. The vanilla glaze on top is optional but recommended for those who prefer the bars sweeter. Also, frozen strawberries work with this recipe, just in case you want to make them out of season.
