Strawberry No-Bake Oat Bars
A refreshing afternoon treat or dessert that’s gluten-free, dairy-free, refined sugar-free and bursting with delicious strawberry flavor.
- Prep Time: 50 mins
- Total Time: 50 minutes
- Yield: 16 1x
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cup oats
- 1 cup almond butter (or other nut/seed butter of choice)
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1/2 cup coconut oil, melted
- 2 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 lb carton of strawberries
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients (except for strawberries) into a bowl and mix together very thoroughly.
- Line an 8×8 pan with parchment paper and place half the mix in the pan to form a bottom “crust.” Put in freezer.
- While that is freezing, wash/cut strawberries and cook on a pan on the stove for about 10 mins at medium heat while mixing it around so nothing gets stuck. Let the strawberries get mushy like jam.
- Take pan out of the freezer and spread mashed strawberries over frozen oats.
- Put back into the freezer to let the mashed strawberries freeze a bit (at least 30 mins – makes it easier to spread top layer of oats on).
- Put the second half of the oat mixture over the strawberries as a top layer (it’s easier to do this with your hands and push it out).
- Keep in fridge or freezer.
