Servings: 16 bars
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups quick oats or rolled oats (150g)
- 2/3 cup flour (spelt, white, or oat) (80g)
- 1/2 cup sugar or xylitol (100g)
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup oil or butter (100g)
- 2 1/2 cups diced strawberries (300g)
- 1 1/2 tsp cornstarch or arrowroot (7g)
- 1 tbsp pure maple syrup or sweetener of choice (15g)
Instructions
- To make the strawberry oatmeal bars, start by preheating your oven to 350 F. Grease an eight inch baking pan or line the bottom with parchment paper. In a large bowl, stir the oats, flour, cinnamon, salt, baking powder, and sugar. Stir in the oil or melted butter, then very firmly press 2/3 of the dough into the pan. Stir berries, cornstarch, and maple syrup in a medium bowl. Spread this berry filling on top of the dough in the pan, then sprinkle the reserved dough on top. Press down very firmly again. Bake 45 minutes on the center rack. Let cool, then refrigerate until chilled, as they firm up considerably. Eat plain or drizzled with peanut butter or a dusting of powdered sugar.View Nutrition Facts
