How to Make Strawberry Oatmeal Bake

 

 

First, prepare the flax eggs. They act as a great egg alternative to make this a vegan-friendly recipe. Moreover, it is super easy to make.

Mix 2 tablespoons of ground flax seeds with 4 tablespoons of filter water. Gently mix together and just let it sit for 5 – 10 minutes or until it gels up.

Second, combine all the wet ingredients starting with mashing up the ripe bananas.

Bananas are the perfect sweetener and also creates the best chewy texture.

Anyone else gets so excited when those bananas sitting on the counter are getting spotty?

Then, Using a hand mixer, whisk all the rest of the wet ingredients together:

• Maple Syrup
• Dairy-Free Milk (Check out my 2-ingredient homemade cashew milk recipe).
• Vanilla Extract

 

Additionally, fold in the sliced strawberries, almond slices, and chocolate chips if using any.

Lastly, pour the mixture into an 8×8 parchment paper-lined baking dish and pop it into the oven.

 

How to Store Strawberry Baked Oatmeal

 

 

Let the baked oatmeal cool completely. Then cut into single serving sized bars.

Store in an air-tight container and leave some room in between to prevent them from sticking to each other.

 

Can I freeze them?

Yes, you can freeze these oatmeal bars. In fact, they are perfect to freeze and reheat beautifully.

Besides storing them in an air-tight container in the freezer, you can also try wrapping them individually for a quick on-the-go breakfast.

 

These easy Strawberry Oatmeal bars are soft-baked, chewy and bursting with strawberry. Gluten-free, vegan and refined sugar-free, they make the best healthy breakfast or snacks.

Hope you and your family love them.
