Healthy Strawberry Oatmeal Bars
From: Snackgirl @ snack-girl.com/snack/healthy-strawberry-oatmeal-bars-recipe-with-fresh-strawberries/
This healthy strawberry oatmeal bars recipe with become a favorite in your house. I don’t worry about organic (though sometimes the organic is the same price and I buy it) because the health benefits of eating fresh fruit far outweigh any risk of pesticide exposure. When I buy organic, I buy to support the environment but I do wish I could afford it all the time. You can make this recipe and you will be so glad that you did. I know that it uses butter but there isn’t that much of it and there really is no substitute for butter in baked goods.
Makes 16 small bars
Ingredients:
1 cup rolled oats
¾ cup white whole wheat flour
1/3 cup light brown sugar
½ teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
2 ½ cups diced fresh strawberries (about 1 pound)
1 teaspoon corn starch
¼ lemon
2 teaspoons sugar
Instructions:
Line a 11x7 casserole with parchment paper.(Don't go any bigger because the bars won't hold up.)
Heat oven to 375 F. In a medium bowl, combined oats, flour, sugar, ginger, and salt.
Mix in melted butter and mix until a crumble forms.
Reserve ½ cup of crumble and press the rest into the casserole.
Add half the strawberries and sprinkle with corn starch and 1 teaspoon sugar and squeeze the lemon slice over the berries.
Add the rest of the berries, sprinkle with sugar and the ½ cup crumble.
Bake for 30-40 minutes until the crumble is slightly browned.
Allow to cool and slice into squares.
