I love something different for breakfast, and these gluten-free and vegan Strawberry Crumb Bars fit the bill.
I'm featuring the Bob's Red Millย gluten free old fashioned oats. I've mixed them into my most favorite (tried and true) crumb topping and created theseย irresistibleย fresh strawberry crumb bars. Our local strawberry stand is now open for business so I couldn't resist this vibrant summer fruit.ย Enjoy these bars with your morning cup of coffee or topped with a scoop of vanilla coconut milk ice cream. Either way, you'll savor every bite of these gluten free vegan strawberry crumb bars!
You'll need gluten-free oats:
Oats. Oats. Gluten free oats are a staple in this house. My husband eats a bowl ofย Bob's Red Millย rolled oats almost every morning. So hearty, so good. I also use them in a lot of my baking, especially in muffins, cobblers and breads. I'm a fan of the texture, the chewiness of oats. I know some of those with celiac disease avoid even the gluten free oats. My husband (who has celiac) is fine with them and my son and I have no problem with them either. I say, "bring on the oats!"
Here's what you need for this Fresh Strawberry Bars recipe:
- fresh strawberries
- gluten free flour blend
- cornstarch or tapioca starch
- gluten free rolled oats
- almond flour
- brown sugar
- cane sugar
- sea salt
- coconut oil
- unsweetened coconut milk
- maple syrup
Once you try these fresh strawberry bars, you'll want to make them all year long. The great news is you can use thawed frozen fruit, although you'll want to drain it. I've developed aย blueberry version, aย raspberry almond version, aย cranberry version, and the peach version below too.
