Strawberry Oatmeal Bars
These easy strawberry oatmeal bars are a warm, gooey dessert made with fresh strawberries, a naturally sweetened filling, and a buttery oat crumble topping that's perfect for summer.
Ingredients
For the Crust and Crumble Topping
- 1 cup unsalted butter melted
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/4 cups old-fashioned oats
- 2/3 cup honey
- 1/2 cup brown sugar packed
- ½ teaspoon salt or to taste
For the Strawberry Layer
- 2 cups coarsely chopped fresh strawberries
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a 9x9 baking dish with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, stir together the melted butter, flour, oats, honey, brown sugar, and salt. The mixture should be thick and slightly crumbly.
- Press about 2/3 of the mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan to form the crust.
- In another bowl, combine the chopped strawberries, raw honey, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Toss until the berries are evenly coated.
- Spread the strawberry mixture evenly over the crust.
- Crumble the remaining oat mixture over the top.
- Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden and the strawberry layer is bubbling.
- Allow it to cool for at least 15–20 minutes before slicing and serving. It thickens as it sits!
