I love to have a baked item in the house each week except that I seem to be the one that mainly eats the item, darn it. And for some reason right after I take these pretty pictures I enjoy my prized item for the week. I guess I won’t be following The 8-Hour Diet today.
Now tell me, what is not to like about strawberry and rhubarb plus did you know that rhubarb is technically a vegetable? Hooray for that! I wasn’t exactly sure what to call them so I think “treat” encompasses all words for muffin, bar, etc.

This recipe is a twist on one of my favorite recipes from Chobani Kitchen’s, Cranberry Oatmeal Bar. I first made these bars two years ago on our trip to Chicago with my side of the family. With three vehicles on a road trip, I packed up bars for each family’s car and received texts along the way saying the bars were a hit! I have been thinking about these bars quite a bit lately and have been meaning to make them but I also have been thinking a lot about strawberry rhubarb crisp, too. All those yummy berries are a match made in heaven for some delectable rhubarb, ahhh.. So. . . I put two ideas together! Image may be NSFW.

With some chopped fresh berries I had to add some frozen rhubarb. I miss living on the farm and always having fresh rhubarb on hand in the summer, tear.
Fun Fact: Rhubarb contains only 30 calories and 3 grams of fiber for 1 cup! Wow, huh?

Since I didn’t have any vanilla Greek yogurt like in the Cranberry Oatmeal Bars, I substituted it for some strawberry Greek yogurt. I always have a large container of Chobani’s strawberry Greek yogurt in my frig. My kids love this yogurt and for some reason I think the 32-ounce container tastes better than a 6-ounce container of yogurt, eh?

I pressed half of the flour mixture into a cupcake pan. Next I added the yogurt berry mixture and topped with the rest of the flour mixture. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes.
