Vegan yogurt – this makes it breakfast, right? 😉.
Chocolate or caramel also go really well with strawberries!
Strawberry crumb bars how to#
How to Serve Vegan Strawberry Oat Squares The cornstarch and strawberry juices in the filling needs time to set up. They will be crumbly and fall apart if you don’t wait. The sides of the parchment act like handles that you can pull up, lifting the bars out easily before cutting them.Ĭool completely before slicing. Doing so makes removing the bars from the pan easy once they have cooled. Just keep any eye on them until you can see some bubbling in the center of the pan and the top is golden. No need to thaw them, either, before using them. Don’t have fresh ripe strawberries? Frozen berries work well in this recipe, too – just add a few minutes to the baking time. We’ve all had those giant strawberries that are white on the inside that have virtually no flavor, right? We don’t want those for these bars – quality in, quality out as the old saying goes. Under a scoop of plant-based ice cream though, it won’t matter 😉 Tips for Perfect Vegan Strawberry Bars If you can’t resist and must have them while they’re warm, enjoy but be warned it’s gunna be messy. This is important for two reasons: 1) molten hot strawberries are no fun to eat (first hand experience here), and 2) the bars are way easier to cut and serve once they’ve cooled and set up properly. If you think about how good the berries are in, say, a galette where fresh fruit is used, the same works in fruit squares! 3) Bake then Cool Completely…and Drizzle with Vanilla Glaze (Optional) And there’s no need to cook the strawberries on the stove first, just pile them onto the crust to bake in the oven. The filling is perfectly sweet enough this way – I find jam a bit too sweet in these squares. Mix together the strawberries, sugar, cornstarch and vanilla. You can work the coconut oil or vegan butter in with a pastry cutter or a couple of forks, but I find it faster to just do it with my hands. While mixing it in a food processor would be easier, it’ll also break down your oats which give the bars such a nice texture both on the bottom as well as in the crumb topping. The crumble base for this recipe is pretty dry like shortbread dough is. The base of the bars is also the crumble topping so that simplifies things! Mix it up, put the mixture (reserving 1 cup for the topping) into a parchment lined 8 x 8 pan and press until firm. Or in other words, the perfect compliment for the fruit filling! How to Make Vegan Strawberry Oat Bars 1) Make your Crust & Crumb Topping Just a touch of cinnamon and almond extract along with vanilla add a warm, subtle flavor. Their bottom layer is a bit like buttery shortbread with oats in it – so good! The crumb topping is a mix of tender, soft pieces mixed with crisp, toasty oats. These strawberry crumble bars are no exception. Drizzle with silky vanilla glaze to make them extra special!īaking egg-free and dairy-free can be easy and the results just as delicious as those containing butter and eggs. These vegan Strawberry Oat Crumb Bars are made with an oat shortbread-style crust & crumble topping, and filled with ripe, juicy strawberries.
