Strawberry and Mango Oat Bars
These strawberry and mango oat bars are bound to become your new favourite summer treat. The creamy filling made of mango and strawberries perfectly complements the slightly chewy texture of rolled oats, with the crumbly topping taking the whole thing to the finish line.
ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- ¾ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 8 tablespoons coconut oil, melted
- 7 ounces strawberries, sliced
- 1 mango, diced
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon agave syrup or honey
instructions
- Preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F) and line a 20cm (8 inch) square pan with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, combine rolled oats, flour, sugar and vanilla. Slowly pour in the coconut oil and stir well with a fork. The texture should be slightly crumbly, with several lumps sticking together.
- Divide the dough into thirds, and press two thirds of it firmly into the prepared pan. Top this bottom layer with sliced strawberries and chunks of mango. Lightly dust with cornstarch and drizzle with agave syrup or honey.
- Sprinkle with the remaining third of the dough and place the dish in the oven. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until the top is golden brown and the filling starts to bubble slightly.
- Wait until it cools down before you slice into 16 bars. You can store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days.
