Ingredients
- 1 ¼ cup oats
- 1 ½ cup whole wheat pastry flour
- ⅓ cup sugar
- ¾ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 5 tablespoons unsalted butter cut into pieces
- 1 egg
- 3 tablespoons canola oil
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- ¼ cup chopped raw cashews or other nuts
- 5 cups sliced strawberries
- 6 tablespoons sugar
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly coat a 9- by 13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
- Place the oats, whole wheat pastry flour, cinnamon and salt in the bowl of a food processor. Pulse until the oats are finely ground.
- Add the butter and pulse until the mixture forms large crumbs.
- In a bowl, whisk together the egg, canola oil and vanilla extract. With the motor running, slowly pour in the egg mixture. Process until the mixture starts to stick together.
- Transfer ¾ cup of the mixture to a bowl and stir in the nuts. Set aside for the topping.
- Press the remaining mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan to form a crust.
- In a large bowl, combine the strawberries, 6 tablespoons sugar, cornstarch and lemon juice.
- Spread the strawberry mixture evenly over the crust. Sprinkle the reserved nut mixture over top.
- Bake until the topping is starting to brown and the fruit is bubbling, 40 to 45 minutes.
- Let cool on a rack, then transfer to the fridge for 30 minutes (this will help with cutting and serving the bars).
- Cut into 24 pieces. Serve or refrigerate.
