There is something so special about waking up to the smell of these strawberry oatmeal bars. They have a wonderful texture that sits somewhere between a cookie and a hearty breakfast muffin, making them a favorite for weekend mornings with the family.

I love that you can use either whole wheat pastry flour or oat flour depending on what you have in your pantry. If you find yourself with extra berries, you can easily swap the strawberries for blueberries to change things up.

🧺 Ingredients

1 and 1/2 cups rolled oats
1 and 1/4 cups whole wheat pastry flour or oat flour
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
2 cups fresh strawberries, diced
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1 teaspoon lemon juice

👩‍🍳Instructions

1
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line an 8 by 8 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
2
In a small bowl, toss the diced strawberries with the granulated sugar and lemon juice, then set them aside.
3
In a large bowl, whisk together the oats, flour, brown sugar, baking soda, and salt.
4
Pour the melted butter over the oat mixture and stir until it looks like wet crumbs.
5
Press two thirds of the oat mixture into the bottom of your prepared pan to form a firm base.
6
Spread the strawberry mixture evenly over the base.
7
Sprinkle the remaining oat mixture over the top and gently press it down with your hands.
8
Bake for 30 to 35 minutes until the edges are golden brown.
9
Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan before cutting them into squares.

💡 Tips

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to four days. If you want a fun dessert, try serving these warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. They are also delicious served alongside a dollop of Greek yogurt.
