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.
