PdfThese Strawberry-oatmeal Breakfast Bars “taste Like Summer”
Preheat oven to 375°F. Lightly coat an 8-inch-square baking pan with cooking spray. Whisk milk, eggs, applesauce, 3 tablespoons brown sugar, vanilla, chia seeds, lemon zest, baking powder and salt in a large bowl until combined.
Fold oats and strawberries into milk mixture until evenly coated. Spoon half of the oat mixture into the prepared pan; spread in an even layer. Spread preserves evenly over the oat mixture and spread the remaining oat mixture evenly over the preserves. Sprinkle the remaining 1 tablespoon brown sugar over the top.
Bake until just set in the center and golden brown on top, about 35 minutes. Let cool in the pan on a wire rack for 5 minutes before slicing. Additional reporting by Carrie Myers, M.S. and Linda Frahm
