Easy Skinny Strawberry Oatmeal Bars

I love these bars for so many reasons. First of all, they taste AWESOME! Hearty oats and sweet juicy strawberries make really amazing combo. Easy Skinny Strawberry Oatmeal Bars are egg-free, in case you’re looking for that kind of recipe.

Even better is that, they are so simple to make. Bottom layer and topping are made from one mixture. Just whisk together dry ingredients with melted coconut oil and press it in the bottom of the pan.You don’t even need a mixer for this recipe. Also you don’t have to make the filling in a separate bowl. Just scatter diced strawberries, sprinkle with sugar, corn starch, lemon juice and topped with reserved crumbs.

In just a couple of minutes your bars are ready to go in the oven and you won’t be overwhelmed with a bunch of dirty dishes. It can’t be much easier than that, right?!  After 45 minutes you’ll have the best bars you’ve ever tried.
