How To Make Easy Strawberry Bars

Start by cleaning the strawberries and cutting them in medium dice. Put the strawberries in a bowl with the white sugar, cinnamon, lemon zest and lemon juice set aside.

Then preheat your oven to 350 degrees, mean while  in a bowl combine the oats and rest of ingredients, mix until well blended. Pat 3/4 of the crumb mixture in a 8 x 8 panspread the strawberry mixture over crust sprinkle top with reserved crumble, bake for 45 minutes. I topped my with a simple icing made by mixing 2 cups of powered sugar with 2 Tablespoons of lemon juice.

It’s better to let the bars cool off a bit before icing and cutting. This  is another one of my versatile recipes, in this recipe you can use different berries to fit your lifestyle and taste or what you have on hand.
