Prep time – 1 hr 45 mins / Serving 12
Ingredients:
- 1 ⅓ cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- ½ cup packed light brown sugar
- 6 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 6 tablespoons white whole-wheat flour
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ⅓ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 ⅓ cups finely chopped fresh strawberries
- 3 tablespoons strawberry preserves
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- ½ teaspoon cornstarch
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line an 8-inch-square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving a 2-inch overhang on two sides. Coat with cooking spray.
- Combine oats, brown sugar, all-purpose flour, whole-wheat flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt in a large bowl. Stir in melted butter. Firmly press 2 cups of the oat mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan. (Reserve the rest for the topping.) Bake until fragrant and set, about 20 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack.
- Combine strawberries, preserves, granulated sugar and cornstarch in a medium bowl. Spread the mixture evenly over the crust. Sprinkle with the reserved oat mixture.
- Bake until the topping is golden and the filling is bubbling, about 35 minutes. Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Using the overhanging parchment, carefully lift the bars out of the pan. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely, about 1 hour. Cut into 12 bars.
