Delicious Strawberry Oat Bars ### Ingredients:

1 cup steel cut oats
1 cup almond milk (or any milk of your choice)
1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 cups fresh strawberries, sliced
1/4 cup almond flour (optional, for added texture)
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon (optional, for extra flavor)

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking dish with parchment paper.
In a bowl, combine the steel cut oats and almond milk. Let it sit for about 15-20 minutes to soften the oats.
In another bowl, mix together honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, baking powder, salt, almond flour, and cinnamon.
Add the softened oats to the mixture and stir until well combined.
Fold in the sliced strawberries gently, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is set.
Once baked, allow the bars to cool in the dish for about 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
After cooling, slice into bars and enjoy your homemade strawberry oat bars!
