How to make Strawberry Banana Oats Bars

To make strawberry spread, in a sauce pan take jaggery powder, chia seeds and chopped strawberries. Allow to cook .Once the jaggery melts and strawberries turn mushy
dissolve 2 teaspoon cornflour in equal amounts of water in a small bowl and mix well. Add this to the strawberry mix. The cornflour helps the spread to thicken slightly. Cook for 1-2 minutes more and put off the flame.
Mean while we can make the base for the bars. For that reserve 1/4 cup oats for the top crust and add the rest to a grinder jar. Pulse to get oatmeal (powdered oats). To this add the ripe banana , cinnamon powder and oil
pulse again for 4-5 times . The mix will be sticky and a bit dry but it should be uniformly blended .
In a bowl mix the powdered dry dates and oats. Mix well and keep aside until use. Line a baking pan with a parchment paper or grease it and preheat the oven at 180 degrees Celsius.
Scoop out the oats banana mix and spread it at the base of the baking pan in an uniform layer. Cover the layer with strawberry spread. Now cover it with the top layer of oats and dry dates.
Press the layers and bake for 25-30 minutes in a preheated oven at 180 degrees Celsius.
Allow the baking pan to cool down before cutting into squares . Serve these healthy strawberry bars with loads of love or refrigerate it until use.
