Line an\u00a08-by-8-inch baking pan with parchment paper so that the paper overhangs two sides like &#8220;handles.&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>In a medium bowl, combine the oats, 3\/4 cup flour, brown sugar, ginger, and salt. Pour in the melted butter and stir until it forms clumps and the dry ingredients are evenly moistened. Set aside 1\/2 cup of the crumble mixture, then press the rest into an even layer in the bottom of the prepared pan.<\/li>\n<li>Scatter\u00a0half of the strawberries\u00a0over the crust. Sprinkle the cornstarch evenly over the top, then sprinkle on the lemon juice, and 1\/2 tablespoon of the granulated sugar. Scatter on the remaining berries, then the remaining 1\/2 tablespoon sugar. Sprinkle\u00a0the\u00a0reserved crumbs evenly over the top. You will have some fruit showing through.<\/li>\n<li>Bake the bars for 35 to 40\u00a0minutes, until the fruit is bubbly and the crumb topping smells toasty and looks golden. Place the pan on a wire rack to cool\u00a0<em>completely\u00a0<\/em>(you can speed this process along in the refrigerator).<\/li>\n<li>While the bars cool, prepare the glaze: in a medium bowl, briskly whisk together the powdered sugar, vanilla, and milk until smooth. Feel free to add more milk if a thinner consistency is desired. Using the parchment paper handles, lift the bars from the pan. Drizzle with glaze, slice, and serve. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 5 days<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"notes\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"notes\"><\/div>\n<p>Credit: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wellplated.com\/strawberry-oatmeal-bars\/\">Well Plated<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>FOR THE\u00a0STRAWBERRY\u00a0BARS: 1 cup old fashioned\u00a0rolled oats 3\/4 cup white whole wheat flour 1\/3 cup light brown sugar 1\/4 teaspoon ground ginger 1\/4 teaspoon kosher salt 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (or substitute melted coconut oil to make vegan\/dairy-free) 1 teaspoon cornstarch 1 tablespoon\u00a0freshly squeezed lemon juice (from about 1\/2 small lemon) 1 tablespoon granulated [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":171,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-183","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-dessert"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/hungrychooi.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/183"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/hungrychooi.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/hungrychooi.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hungrychooi.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hungrychooi.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=183"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/hungrychooi.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/183\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":184,"href":"https:\/\/hungrychooi.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/183\/revisions\/184"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hungrychooi.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/171"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/hungrychooi.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=183"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hungrychooi.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=183"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hungrychooi.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=183"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
