Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350F and grease a 8x8” baking pan. You can also line it with parchment paper for easy removal of the bars from the pan.

Step 2

Place 1 cup of the oats in a blender jar or food processor. Process it until it’s ground into a fine flour.

Step 3

In a mixing bowl, combine the remaining oats, the oat flour, ¾ cup of coconut flakes, Florida Crystals® Organic Light Brown Raw Cane Sugar, and salt.

Step 4

Combine the melted coconut oil, beaten egg, and vanilla extract. Pour the wet ingredients into the oatmeal mixture and stir until combined.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, whisk together the strawberry jam, lemon juice, vanilla extract and Florida Crystals® Organic Powdered Raw Cane Sugar until smooth –- the mixture will be fairly thick. Add the sliced strawberries, then stir until all of them are coated with the jam mixture and sugar.

Step 6

Set aside about ¾ cup of the oat mixture, then press the rest into an even crust layer on the bottom of the pan.

Step 7

Spread the strawberries over the crust, then crumble the rest of the oatmeal mix over the top. Sprinkle with a few more coconut flakes.

Step 8

Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the top crumbles are golden brown. The edges of the bars will look bubbly and jammy.

Step 9

Cool the bars thoroughly in the refrigerator before cutting. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 4-5 days.
