Jump to Recipe

These healthy strawberry oatmeal bars are made from simple and mainly healthy ingredients. They are so easy to make. The addition of fruit makes the bars very juicy. In fact, they are a little bit more crunchy, not too soft. The combination of oats, nuts, and fruit tastes simply delicious and you can enjoy these oatmeal bars for breakfast. Due to the healthy ingredients, they are also an energizing start into the day or perfect as a snack.

Strawberry time is my favorite time! I love strawberries. Not only do they look beautiful but they taste so delicious. Besides, you can try so many recipes with strawberries. This year I’m a bit late but these strawberry oatmeal bars taste great and are also healthy. Healthy baking is actually not that difficult, so I would like to show you which ingredients are best to use and which ingredients go well together. I am not only a big fan of strawberries but also of oats. They are so versatile, satisfying, and healthy. That’s why I love being in the kitchen and creating new recipes with oats. So far I already made a recipe for chocolate oatmeal cookies as well as a healthy baked banana oatmeal recipe and energy balls with dates and raspberries.

What ingredients do Healthy Strawberry Oatmeal Bars consist of?

The strawberry oatmeal bars consist of simple basic ingredients. If you don’t have the ingredients at home, they can be easily exchanged. If it is not strawberry season, you can use other fruits or frozen fruits. These oatmeal bars taste very good with blueberries, raspberries, cherries, and apricots.

You need the following ingredients for strawberry oatmeal bars:

• Oats and flour – The base of the bars is made of oats and flour. If you want to make them gluten-free, just use oatmeal flour, ground nuts, or gluten-free flour.
  
  
• Coconut oil and nut butter – You can use an oil of your choice. However, the coconut flavor goes very well with these bars. Other good oils for baking: sunflower oil and olive oil. Don’t you have any oil at hand? Then you can simply replace the oil with butter. Do you want to add less oil? Then just use some more nut butter.
  
  
• Spices – Use your favorite spices for these oatmeal bars. I have added cinnamon and ginger to the dough. I have also added a little salt. This gives them even more sweetness. You can also add some turmeric or vanilla. But you can also leave out the spices completely.
  
  
• Sweetener – Would you like to use a healthy sweetener? Then I recommend using coconut blossom sugar, date, or maple syrup. I prefer to use agave syrup.
  
  
• For the Strawberry Mixture: strawberries, cornstarch, lemon juice, unsalted pistachios, and some sugar.

Preparation of Vegan Strawberry Oatmeal Bars

The cake is so quick and easy to make. You only need a few kitchen utensils to prepare it: 2 mixing bowls, 1 baking dish (9 x 5 x 3 inches), 1 whisk, 1 mortar, and 1 knife. It is no problem if the baking dish is bigger, so the cake pieces will be a little bit thinner or you make twice the amount.

1. First of all, you can prepare the strawberry mixture. Cut the strawberries into small pieces, add cornstarch, lemon juice, and some sugar. Mix everything well and put the bowl aside. Now mix all the dry ingredients together and then add the liquid ingredients while stirring.

2. Before you put the dough into the baking dish, it is best to put a piece of baking paper in it, so that you can easily remove the oatmeal bars from the dish. Pour the dough into the baking dish and spread it evenly. Keep a little of the dough so that you can put some crumbles on the strawberries at the end. Now add the strawberry mixture and spread the strawberries evenly.

3. The combination of pistachios and strawberries is super delicious. That is why you should add some unsalted pistachios to the strawberries. Then form the rest of the dough into crumbles and spread the crumbles on the strawberries.
