Irresistible Strawberry Oat Bars: A Delicious Twist to Classic Oatmeal Bars

Ingredients

• Spray for cooking
• 1 cup of melted butter
• 1/2 cup of corn syrup
• 2 tablespoons of corn syrup
• 1/3 cup of brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
• 4 cups of quick-cooking oats
• 1/2 cup of diced strawberries
• 1/4 cup of white chocolate chips

Step 1

Begin by preheating your oven to a toasty 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) and greasing a 13x9-inch glass baking dish with a spritz of cooking spray.

Step 2

Next, place a chunk of butter in a roomy microwave-safe bowl and heat it up for about a minute. If the butter hasn't quite melted, give it an extra 30 seconds in the microwave. Now, blend in 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons of corn syrup, some brown sugar, and a dash of vanilla extract into the buttery mix. Toss in some oats and stir until everything is nicely combined. Don't worry if the mixture seems a tad thick; resist the urge to add more liquid.

Step 3

Time to jazz it up! Fold in some juicy strawberries and a generous handful of white chocolate chips. Spoon the delightful batter into your prepared baking dish and press it gently into place.

Step 4

Pop the dish into your preheated oven and let it work its magic until the top turns a lovely golden hue, which should take around 25 minutes. Once baked to perfection, allow it to cool off before cutting it into delectable bars. Enjoy your scrumptious creation!
