1 cup fresh or frozen strawberries, chopped
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8×8 inch baking dish.
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, flour, brown sugar, salt, and cinnamon.
Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in the melted butter and mix until well combined. Reserve about 1/2 cup of this mixture for topping.
Prepare Strawberry Filling: In a separate bowl, mix the chopped strawberries with lemon juice and honey (or maple syrup).
Assemble the Bars: Press the oat mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Spread the strawberry mixture evenly over the oat layer, then sprinkle the reserved oat mixture on top.
