Equipment

  • 9" x 13" x 2" metal baking pan

Ingredients
  

  • 1¾ cups all-purpose gluten-free flour
  • 1¾ cups gluten-free old-fashioned oats (also called rolled oats)
  • 1 cup chopped walnuts
  • 1 cup granulated coconut sugar (regular sugar may also be used)
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ¾ cup melted coconut oil (melted but not hot)
  • 1¼ cups strawberry fruit spread

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking pan and line it with parchment paper, leaving a bit of overhang for easy removal. Lightly spray the parchment and set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, baking soda, salt, and nutmeg. Stir in oats and walnuts. Pour in the melted coconut oil and mix until the mixture becomes crumbly and fully coated.
    Mixing together the dry ingredients with the wet to make the crumble for strawberry oatmeal bars in a round silver bowl.
  • Set aside about one-third of the oat mixture for the topping. Press the remaining mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan to create an even crust. Spread the strawberry fruit spread evenly over the crust, then sprinkle the reserved oat mixture evenly over the top.
    Adding the jam to the pan for strawberry oatmeal bars, and then topping with more oat mixture.
  • Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the crust is lightly golden and filling is set. Remove from the oven and allow the bars to cool completely before lifting them from the pan and slicing.
    Baking the strawberry oatmeal bars in the oven and then cutting into squares when done.

Kori's Tips

For more helpful hints, substitution ideas, cooking tips, and other delicious recipes check out my post above.
TIPS: For the cleanest slices, let the bars cool completely before cutting. 
VARIATIONS: Make strawberry rhubarb oatmeal bars by using a fruit spread made with a combination of strawberries and rhubarb. Since rhubarb is naturally tart, you may want to slightly increase the sweetener in the fruit mixture.
SERVING SUGGESTIONS: Store bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Enjoy chilled or slightly warmed.
