Strawberry Yogurt Bars with Oatmeal Crumble
Strawberry Yogurt Bars are the perfect healthy snack and kid-approved! This strawberry oatmeal breakfast bar recipe makes for a quick breakfast on the go or a healthy dessert.
Strawberry yogurt bars bring together fresh berries with a creamy yogurt layer all nestled between oatmeal crumble.
They are a delicious way to celebrate spring and summer flavors!
Before we discuss this healthy strawberry oat bar recipe, let’s talk about muffins for a second.
Everyone knows the BEST part of a muffin is the streusel topping that covers every ooey-gooey cakey muffin.
I’m completely guilty of taking off the top of a muffin and only eating that part.
(Side note: Turns out there’s a thing called “muffies” that are exactly that. GENIUS.)
So, for this easy strawberry oat bar recipe I took your favorite part and baked it into an addictive, sweet & tangy strawberry breakfast bar.
These bars are healthy because I used Organic whole milk strawberry yogurt and traded the oil for yogurt as well!
Using yogurt or applesauce instead of butter or oil is a great way to add protein to your baked goods and lower fat.
This healthy oat bar recipe is extra wonderful because you can use any of your favorite fruit-flavored yogurt and they’ll turn out equally mouthwatering.
Ingredients needed:
Strawberry Yogurt – you can use any fruit flavored yogurt or vanilla if you prefer!
All Purpose Flour – this makes for the best texture. Use gluten free 1:1 flour if you are gluten free
Quick Cooking Oats – do not use steel cut (unless you are making steel cut oatmeal cookies!)
Brown Sugar – can be swapped for coconut sugar
Cinnamon – adds the perfect warmth and spice
Baking Soda
Unsalted butter – can swap for vegan butter
Applesauce – be sure it has no sugar added!
Almond Milk – any dairy or non dairy milk will work
Granulated Sugar – I used white, but you can use any granulated sugar such as this zero calorie granulated sugar
One Egg white
Dried cranberries – any dried fruit can work
How to make strawberry yogurt bars:
Preheat oven to 325°F & Lightly coat a 9×9 rimmed baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray.
Whisk together flour, oats, brown sugar, cinnamon & baking soda in a large bowl.
In a separate bowl, whisk together butter, apple sauce, and milk. Add wet ingredients to flour mixture & stir until crumbly. (Reserve ½ Cup of mixture for later)
Press the rest of the mixture evenly into your pan to create the crust.
Whisk yogurt, sugar, 3 Tbsp flour, and egg white in a medium bowl. Stir in cranberries.
Pour evenly over the crust & sprinkle the reserved oat mixture on top.
Bake until edges are golden brown, 30-35 minutes. Cool completely and slice into bars.
