Strawberry Crumble Oat Bars

A soft and delicious end-of-summer treat!

Introduction

If you’ve been following me for awhile, you will remember that during covid lockdowns I was bragging about only grocery shopping every two weeks! Since moving, I realized we had a super power fridge – I had no idea that made such a difference! Lately, my fruit has been going mushy in just a few days… the only thing to do with mushy fruit is make crumbly oat bars! 
One perk to these bars is that they double nicely as an after dinner dessert – especially when crumbled on top of vanilla ice cream!

Ingredients

  • 1 cup oats

  • 1/2 cup flour
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 1/2 cups diced strawberries
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 tsp cornstarch

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line a 8×8 baking dish with parchment paper

2. Mix together oats, flour, cinnamon, baking soda, salt, brown sugar until combined. Add in the vegetable oil and mix until the dry ingredients are coated

3. In a separate bowl, mix together the diced strawberries, vanilla extract and the cornstarch

4. Pour 2/3 of the oat mixture into the baking dish and spread evenly along the bottom. Lay the berries on top. I like to use the bottom of a cup to press the berries into the crust. Lastly add the final 1/3 of the oat mixture on top and press down again

5. Bake for 35 mins on the centre rack. Once finished, let them cool for 10-15 mins and then place in the fridge for at least an hour to firm up

6. Lastly, cut into squares and enjoy! You can eat them on their own, or crumbled up over ice cream!
