BACK-TO-SCHOOL Series
These oatmeal bars did not last long in our house. In fact, Ruby rated these a “tree” (3) which actually is a great rating considering it’s the highest she can count haha
Ingredients
1 cup quick or rolled oats
1/2 cup all-purpose or oat flour
1/4 tsp each: cinnamon, salt, and baking powder
1/3 cup cane sugar
1/3 cup coconut oil
2 cups diced fresh strawberries
1 1/2 tsp cornstarch
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 F. Line an 8×8 pan with parchment. In a large bowl, stir together the oats, flour, cinnamon, salt, baking powder, and sugar. Stir in the oil, then very firmly press 2/3 of the dough into the prepared pan, reserving the remaining dough. In a separate bowl, stir berries, starch, and 1 tbsp sweetener. Press this on top of the dough in the pan, then sprinkle the reserved dough on top. Press down very firmly again. Bake 35 minutes on the center rack. Let cool, then refrigerate at least 1 hour before cutting, as they firm up. Eat plain, or top with melted coconut butter frosting, or a basic powdered sugar glaze.
