Taste and Texture:

Healthy oats square with juicy strawberry filling on a white plate.

  • Soft and chewy base
  • Filled with juicy Strawberry filling
  • Melty Choc chips in every bite
  • Flavored with Vanilla, Wild flower honey and Cinnamon flavors

Recipe Ingredients:

Wholesome ingredients like oats, pb, honey, cinnamon to make oats bars
Homemade strawberry filling in a microwave safe bowl.

  1. Oats: Quick Oats are ideal for this recipe. If you have old fashioned oats on hand, pulse them in blender till a coarse texture is achieved.
  2.  Honey: I used wild flower honey for its floral scent. I suggest adding an extra tsp of vanilla if using regular honey.
  3. Apple Butter: Apple butter makes bars super chewy. If unavailable at your end, replace it with apple sauce.

How to make Healthy Oats Bars:

Oats mixture layered in lined baking pan.
Homemade Strawberry filling over oats mixture layer.

Oats mixture and choc chips crumbled over strawberry filling.

For Strawberry Filling:

Mix fresh strawberry chunks, honey, cornstarch + water and lemon juice in a microwave safe bowl. Heat it in 30 seconds increments till it thickens slightly.

To make Oats Bars Base:

  1. Mix and dumb all the base ingredients together in a medium mixing bowl.
  2. Reserve around 3/4 cup of this mixture for topping and layer the rest in a square baking pan.
  3. Add and spread room temp strawberry filling over the first layer.
  4. Crumble the remaining oats mixture, top with chocolate chips and bake!

  • Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C) and 8x8 square baking pan with aluminium foil or parchment paper with enough overhangs on the sides. This step will aid easy removal of bars.

    We have fresh strawberries coming out of the garden already, and I like to make lots of different things with them. These are perfect for breakfast or mid-morning or mid-afternoon snack!

    There is never such a thing as too many strawberries! I love strawberries and I get so excited when they’re in season!! I would love to recreate your recipe when my fridge is bursting with strawberries, but I’ll have to rely on applesauce as apple butter is not available here. Hope not to miss too much out on the stickiness because I love the texture I see on your pics!
