How To Make guava bars

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Step 2

Grease a 13x9-inch pan, and line with foil or parchment paper.

Combine brown sugar, flour, baking soda, salt, and rolled oats. Cut in butter with a pastry blender or two knives until mixture is crumbly.

Press 2/3 of the crust mixture into the prepared pan. Slice the guava paste into enough pieces to cover the crust within 1/4 inch of the edge, and place in pan. Sprinkle remaining crust mixture over guava paste layer.
