Ingredients
For the Filling:
- 4 cups whole strawberries washed, hulled and diced
- ⅔ cup granulated sugar
- Juice from half of a lemon about 1 ½ tablespoons
- ⅓ cup corn starch
For the Crust/topping:
- 2 cups old fashioned rolled oats
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ⅔ cup granulated sugar
- 1 ½ teaspoons cinnamon
- 14 tablespoons unsalted butter room temperature
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a 9×13-inch baking pan with nonstick spray and set aside.
Prepare the filling:
- In a large bowl, stir together the diced strawberries and sugar. Let sit for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, add lemon juice and cornstarch and stir to combine.
Prepare the crust/topping:
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, mix oats, flour, sugar, cinnamon, butter, salt, and vanilla on low speed until the butter is evenly dispersed and the mixture resembles coarse meal.
- Using your hands or the bottom of a measuring cup or glass, firmly press 2/3 of the crust mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan. Spread the strawberry filling evenly over the top of the crust. Sprinkle the remaining crust mixture over the top of the strawberry filling, squeezing together some of the mixture into clumps to create a crumb-like topping.
- Bake bars for 35-40 minutes or until golden brown. Allow to cool completely before cutting.
Notes
- Try swapping out other berries in place of the strawberries for a different twist.
- If you would like to use Truvia Baking Blend in place of the granulated sugar, simply halve the measurement.
