The dough in this easy dessert recipe does double duty--it creates a sturdy crust to hold all the gooey strawberry filling and also makes a crisp crumb topping. Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream to take this to the next level.

Ingredients

1 ⅓ cups old-fashioned rolled oats
½ cup packed light brown sugar
6 tablespoons all-purpose flour
6 tablespoons white whole-wheat flour
¼ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon salt
⅓ cup unsalted butter, melted
1 ⅓ cups finely chopped fresh strawberries
3 tablespoons strawberry preserves
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
½ teaspoon cornstarch

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line an 8-inch-square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving a 2-inch overhang on two sides. Coat with cooking spray.
Combine oats, brown sugar, all-purpose flour, whole-wheat flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt in a large bowl. Stir in melted butter. Firmly press 2 cups of the oat mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan. (Reserve the rest for the topping.) Bake until fragrant and set, about 20 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack.
Combine strawberries, preserves, granulated sugar and cornstarch in a medium bowl. Spread the mixture evenly over the crust. Sprinkle with the reserved oat mixture.
Bake until the topping is golden and the filling is bubbling, about 35 minutes. Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Using the overhanging parchment, carefully lift the bars out of the pan. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely, about 1 hour. Cut into 12 bars.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
