Strawberry
Oatmeal Breakfast Bars
(recipe from tasty.com)
servings: 6 real breakfasts or 9 small breakfasts
INGREDIENTS
2
cups chopped fresh strawberries (use 1 cup strawberries and 1 cup peaches for a great change)
½
teaspoon salt
2
teaspoons fresh lemon juice
½
teaspoon lemon zest
1
½ cups whole wheat flour (can be substituted with all purpose flour)
2
cups rolled oats
1/4
cup Stevia in the RawⓇ
¼
cup sugar
½
teaspoon cinnamon
¼
teaspoon salt
¾
cup coconut oil, melted (can be substituted with butter)
PREPARATION
1. Preheat
the oven to 350°F/175°C.
2. Add
the strawberries, salt, lemon juice, and lemon zest to a small saucepan and
cook over low heat until the berries soften and release the juices, about 3
minutes. Set aside to cool.
3. Combine
whole-wheat flour, oats, Stevia in the RawⓇ,
sugar and cinnamon, in a large bowl.
4. Add
the coconut oil and stir to coat.
5. Cut
2 pieces of parchment paper to line the bottom a 9x9 baking pan and go a few
inches up the sides. This will make it easy to remove the bars from the pan
after baking.
6. Reserve
about 2/3 cup of the crumble for topping and press the remaining oat mixture
into the parchment lined pan to form the base.
7. Pour
the cooled strawberry filling over the base and top with reserved oat mixture.
Bake 30–35 minutes. Let cool completely.
Refrigerate a few hours or overnig
