Strawberry Oatmeal Bars  #SundaySupper

Strawberry Oatmeal Bars are a terrific way to celebrate the fact that Florida Strawberries are in season. You will have through April to take full advantage of these tasty beauties so there will be plenty of time to make your way through all of the Family Healthy Recipes my fellow Sunday Supper family created. 

Florida strawberries are filled with many health benefits. Strawberries are virtually fat free, contain no cholesterol and are an excellent source of folic acid that helps the body metabolize protein.

I am a huge fan of the grab-and-go convenience associated with eating strawberries. Simply wash them and then head out the door. It’s refreshing to know that eight medium strawberries contain more vitamin C than one orange.

Florida strawberries are also low in calories (about 45 per serving) and high in ellagic acid, which is believed to help reduce the risk of cancer. A serving size of strawberries is one cup (5 oz.) so one serving will be satisfying.

There are plenty of strawberries to enjoy in Strawberry Oatmeal Bars. The Florida strawberries are cooked on the stove first to give a jam consistency before they are transfered to the bars.

I wanted to use oat flour and my initial attempt used only oat flour. I learned very quickly that I needed to use a blend of flours in order to achieve the desired consistency for Strawberry Oatmeal Bars. Old fashioned oats add a nice touch, too.

While you are at it, be sure to follow Florida Strawberry on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest as well as Strawberry Sue on YouTube and Twitter so you can stay up-to-date on everything happening in their very sweet world.
