One of the very best parts of summer on the family hobby farm are fresh, sun-ripened strawberries. I love to use them in dozens of ways. But, if you need a quick and easy dessert, filled with the flavors of summertime, this one is for you. =)

How To Make farm fresh strawberry bars- a family favorite

1
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Grease and then line a 13x9 cake pan with parchment paper.

2
In a large bowl, combine the first five crust/crumble ingredients until no dry pieces remain. Reserve 1 cup and then place rest in the pan, patting down to form the crust.
3
Combine the next four strawberry layer ingredients and spread evenly over the crust.
4
Sprinkle the reserved oat mixture over the berries. Bake at 375 degrees for 35-40 minutes until oats begin to turn golden. Cool completely.
5
Mix vanilla drizzle ingredients together until smooth, adding milk until you reach your desired consistency. Drizzle as desired over cooled bars. You probably won't use it all.
6
Bars can be served room temperature or chilled. (We like them chilled with a topping of whipped cream on hot summer days.) Refrigerate leftovers.
