Ingredients
  

Crumb Base & Topping
  • 1 ½ cups All-purpose flour
  • ¾ cup Rolled oats
  • ½ cup Granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup Light brown sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon Salt
  • ½ cup Unsalted butter (1 stick), cold and cubed
Mango Filling
  • 2 cups Fresh mangoes peeled and diced (about 2-3 medium mangoes)
  • ¼ cup Granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons Water

Equipment

  • Baking dish (8x8 or 9x9 inch)
  • Mixing bowls
  • Spatula
  • Saucepan

Method
 

Instructions
  1. In a large bowl, combine flour, oats, both sugars, and salt; then cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  2. Press about two-thirds of the crumb mixture evenly into the bottom of a greased 8x8 or 9x9 inch baking dish.
  3. In a saucepan, cook diced mangoes with sugar and lemon juice until soft; then stir in a cornstarch-water mixture and cook until thickened.
  4. Pour and spread the cooked mango filling evenly over the pressed crumb base in the baking dish.
  5. Crumble the remaining one-third of the crumb mixture over the mango filling, then bake at 375°F (190°C) for 30-35 minutes until golden and bubbly.
  6. Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before cutting them into squares.

Notes

For best results, use ripe but firm mangoes. The bars are easier to cut when completely cooled. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for longer freshness.
