Description
Delicious strawberry oatmeal bars that blend sweet fruity goodness with wholesome oats.
Ingredients
- Rolled oats (2 cups)
- All-purpose flour (1 cup)
- Brown sugar (1/2 cup)
- Baking powder (1 teaspoon)
- Salt (1/2 teaspoon)
- Unsalted butter (1/2 cup, melted)
- Honey or maple syrup (1/4 cup)
- Fresh strawberries (2 cups, hulled and sliced)
- Lemon juice (1 tablespoon)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Prepare a 9×9-inch square baking pan by greasing it with butter or lining it with parchment paper.
- Mix the dry ingredients in a bowl: rolled oats, flour, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Incorporate the wet ingredients in another bowl: whisk together melted butter, honey (or maple syrup), and lemon juice. Pour into the dry mix and fold gently.
- Set aside about 1 cup of the mixture for topping.
- Press the remaining mixture into the prepared pan to create an even layer.
- Layer the sliced strawberries evenly over the base.
