01
Step 1
Start by heating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some extra hanging over the edges for easy removal later, and give it a light spray of cooking oil. In a large bowl, mix together the oats, whole wheat flour, coconut, almonds, ginger, and salt. Then add the melted butter, maple syrup, and vanilla extract, stirring everything until it’s well combined. Set aside about a cup of this mixture for the topping, and press the rest firmly and evenly into the bottom of your prepared pan.

Step 2
In another bowl, toss the strawberries with the remaining maple syrup, cornstarch, orange juice, and orange zest until the cornstarch is fully dissolved and there are no dry spots. Spread this fruity filling evenly over the crust. Sprinkle the reserved oat mixture over the top and gently press it down into the berries.

Step 3
Pop the pan in the oven and bake for about 45 to 50 minutes, until the top turns golden and the strawberries are bubbling. Let it cool completely before lifting it out using the parchment edges. Once cooled, slice into bars and enjoy!
