Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 1/3 cup coconut oil, melted
  • 1/3 cup maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup (for filling)
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch or arrowroot powder
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, mix oats, almond flour, melted coconut oil, maple syrup, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until crumbly.
  3. Press about two-thirds of the mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan to form the crust.
  4. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine chopped strawberries, maple syrup, cornstarch, and lemon juice. Cook for 3–5 minutes, stirring, until thickened.
  5. Spread the strawberry filling evenly over the crust.
  6. Sprinkle the remaining oat mixture over the top as a crumble.
  7. Bake for 25–30 minutes, until golden and bubbly.
  8. Allow to cool completely before slicing into bars.

Notes

  • Cooling fully helps the bars set and prevents crumbling.
  • Use certified gluten-free oats if needed.
  • Bars can be enjoyed chilled or at room temperature.
