Ingredients
See the recipe card for full information on ingredients and quantities.
- Oats: I used rolled oats for this recipe, but it should work just fine with any other type of oats. Rolled oats contain a bit more fiber than quick-cooking oats.
- Brown sugar: It has a caramel-like flavor, but you can swap it with granulated sugar.
- Butter: Use unsalted butter for this recipe. If you use salted butter, omit the salt from the recipe.
- Strawberry puree: You can buy shop-bought strawberry puree or make it yourself by blending or crushing strawberries. You can also use frozen strawberries.
Tips and Substitutions
- Chocolate: For a healthier option, consider swapping the white chocolate with dark chocolate, which is rich in antioxidants.
- Sweetener: Use honey, stevia, agave nectar, or maple syrup instead of brown sugar for a refined-sugar-free bar.
- Berries: You can swap the strawberries with fresh blueberries, raspberries, or blackberries. Or, try mixing the fruit for a three-berry healthy snack bar!
How to Make No-Bake Strawberry Oat Bars
- Grab an 8 or 9-inch square tray and line it with baking paper. Lightly grease the paper with a small amount of unsalted butter.
2. In a large pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once it's melted, stir in the brown sugar until it's fully dissolved and smooth.
3. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in ¼ cup melted white chocolate, oats, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt.
4. Mix well, then press the oat mixture into your prepared tray and smooth it out.
5. Pour the chopped strawberries evenly over the top, then drizzle the remaining white chocolate in a zigzag pattern. Pop it into the freezer for about 2 hours to firm up.
6. Once the no-bake strawberry oat bars are ready, remove them from the freezer and slice into even-sized squares. Serve as breakfast or a treat.
