Strawberry Oat Bars
Description
The base combines melted coconut oil, cane sugar, and egg blended with all-purpose and oat flours, cinnamon, and salt, pressed firmly into a baking pan and chilled to set. The filling uses freshly diced strawberries tossed with sugar and lemon juice, providing a bright acidic contrast to the sweet crust. The crumble topping is made by mixing oat flour, all-purpose flour, coconut oil, sugar, salt, and rolled oats, which lends a textured, crumbly finish.
Baked together at 350°F, the bars develop a golden crumble and a softened but not watery strawberry layer. The combination yields a contrast between crisp oat layers and juicy berry center. Cooling the bars before cutting helps them hold their shape.
Store these bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to four days, though refrigeration softens the crispness. Reheating in the oven can restore some crunchiness.

Assemble
- On the chilled base, spread an even layer of the strawberry mixture.
- Sprinkle the crumble on top of the strawberries as evenly as possible, but do not press down.
- Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until golden on top and strawberries are slightly bubbling at edges.
