Ingredients
Scale
Oat Mixture
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup (sweetener)
- 1/4 cup melted coconut oil or butter
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Filling
- 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 2 tablespoons honey or sweetener of choice
Instructions
- Prepare the oat mixture: In a large bowl, combine rolled oats, baking powder, and salt. Add melted coconut oil or butter and honey or maple syrup, mixing thoroughly until the mixture is evenly coated and slightly sticky.
- Form the base layer: Press about two-thirds of the oat mixture firmly into the bottom of a greased or parchment-lined 8×8-inch baking pan, creating an even layer to serve as the crust.
- Add the strawberry layer: In a separate bowl, toss the sliced strawberries with honey or your preferred sweetener. Spread the strawberries evenly over the oat crust layer.
- Top with remaining oats: Sprinkle and gently press the remaining oat mixture over the strawberry layer to form the top crust, covering the berries as much as possible.
- Bake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the baking pan in the oven and bake for approximately 30 to 35 minutes, or until the bars are golden brown and set.
- Cool and serve: Remove from the oven and allow the bars to cool completely in the pan. Once cooled, cut into bars and serve as a wholesome snack or breakfast option.
Notes
- For a more jam-like filling, you can cook the strawberries down slightly before layering.
- Use gluten-free oats if you require a gluten-free version.
- Store bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate to keep them longer.
- These bars can be customized by adding nuts or seeds to the oat mixture for extra texture.
