Strawberry Oat Bars
Ingredients
  • 1 pound fresh strawberries
  • 1/2 lemon, juiced
  • 2 tablespoons white sugar
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 1 1/2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 8 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit, or 190 degrees Celsius.
2
Next, take a 9x12-inch baking dish and apply butter to its surface.
3
To prepare the strawberries, carefully remove their green tops using a small, sharp knife or strawberry huller. Place the berries cut-side down on a flat surface and divide them into halves. Then, slice each half lengthwise 3 to 5 times before rotating and cutting across in a uniform manner.
4
In a separate bowl, combine the diced strawberries, lemon juice, sugar, and cornstarch. Mix everything together until they are fully incorporated and the cornstarch is completely dissolved.
5
In another bowl, combine rolled oats, all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, brown sugar, salt, and ground ginger. Pour in the melted butter and mix everything together until the dry ingredients are evenly coated.
6
Transfer 60% of the oatmeal mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly. Use the back of a spoon or spatula to press the mixture down slightly.
7
Add the prepared strawberries on top, using a slotted spoon. Be gentle when placing them, as you don't want to press down on them. Reserve any accumulated juices in the bowl.
8
Top with the remaining oatmeal mixture and press it down lightly with the back of a spoon or spatula. Drizzle any reserved juices over the top.
9
Bake the dish in your preheated oven until the top is golden brown, taking about 45 minutes. Use a spatula to press the top down slightly.
10
Let the dish cool completely, which should take around 1 hour. Once cooled, cut it into bars and serve.
