I’ve been spending a lot more time in grocery stores lately and I’m definitely loving the fact that beautiful, fresh berries are back in stock. In my mind, fresh berries are a sure sign that the seasons are changing, even if it’s still sweatshirt/sweater weather here in Ohio. And while peak strawberry season hasn’t quite hit my region, this recipe allows even pre-season berries to sing.
Along with Spring warmth and sunshine comes bathing suit season – did that just make you wince a little? I pretty much find myself dreading the mere thought of it! Coming off of a super long, cold winter hunkered down over delicious comfort foods; these Strawberry Oatmeal Bars sweetened with Truvia Baking Blend can make you feel a little less intimidated by a trip to the beach. Swapping Truvia Baking Blend for regular sugar has allowed me to cut some calories from my diet, without having to cut out my weekly baking rituals.
These bars are a breeze to make. One simple mixture packed full of whole grain goodness makes up both the tender crust and the cinnamon crumble topping. The fresh strawberry filling adds just the right amount of sweetness to make these bars the perfect Spring dessert. Between the fruit and the oats, they’re also pretty much breakfast perfection.

Notes:
- You can use all purpose flour in place of the white whole wheat flour. - Try swapping out other berries in place of the strawberries for a different twist. - If you would like to use granulated sugar in place of the Truvia Baking Blend, simply double the measurement.Follow Jamie on Instagram.

Any idea on the calories per piece?
Looks delicious! Can they be frozen?
Hi Marlo,
These should be fine to freeze. Just make sure they’re in an airtight container. I would probably put wax paper between layers of them.

I’m so excited that we just started getting fresh, local strawberries here. These bars are a must-make!
I baked these for a work brunch the other day. They were delicious!
Meredith,
That’s great! I’m so happy to hear that you loved the recipe. Thank you so much for stopping back and for following MBA!
