Copycat Pioneer Woman Strawberry Oat Bars
I so admire Ree the Pioneer Woman and have made a bunch of her recipes. This one happens to be my favorite, it’s a really simple and a very easy recipe. The crumb topping is beyond scrumptious. Everyone loves these Copycat Pioneer Woman Strawberry Oat Bars.
Bake a batch and enjoy!
The famous Ree Drummond.
Ree Drummond, as everyone knows as the Pioneer Woman has her cooking show on The Food Network every Saturday morning.
When my daughter was still living at home before college, she watched with me.
Nowadays my 16 year old son will watch with me when I beg him to. LOL.
She’s so funny and you can tell she loves her family so much.
Her recipes can be crazy fattening or sometimes she tries to make a healthy meal and even some slimmed down desserts.
I look forward to her show on Saturday mornings and seeing what she’s going to whip up.
My favorite are her dessert recipes.
I have made them a bunch of her recipes, mainly her dessert and chicken dishes.
We all really enjoy them.
This one below is my new all time favorite to date.
It happens to be one of her old recipes from I think season two. The episode was on recently so I grabbed the recipe that’s on the Food Network website.
When I saw the way she made the recipe for Strawberry Oat Bars, I loved how easy-peasy it looked and I knew my family would love them and I knew I wanted one of those bars right away!
The first time I made these bars there was no butter in the house at the time, it was time to go shopping and staples were low.
However, I did have vegan butter so I swapped out that for the dairy butter and you really couldn’t tell the difference. Since then,
I go back and forth making them with butter or with the vegan butter, just depends on my mood.
We have these for breakfast some days and dessert other days.
Add a scoop of ice-cream or frozen yogurt.
Best warm from the oven so the ice-cream melts into the bars.
They travel well too and make a great food gift.
Check the recipe out below. They come out so delicious every time.
It’s a very forgiving dessert so you really can’t mess it up,
See and taste for yourself. These are a winner!

What you’ll need to make a batch of copycat Pioneer Woman strawberry oat bars…
Ingredients:
- 1 stick cold unsalted butter or vegan butter, cut into chunks
- 3/4 cup oats, I used instant.
- 1/4 cup whole wheat pastry flour, you can use just all purpose flour
- 1/2 cup all purpose flour
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar, you can use coconut sugar too
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon, optional, This is not in the original recipe, I liked the subtle hint it gave the crumble
- 6 ounces strawberry jam or preserves, store bought or homemade
That went fast, yum!
How are these delicious bars made…
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees, mist a glass 8 X 8 baking pan with cooking spray. Set aside.
- In a medium to large mixing bowl, combine oats, flours, sugar, salt, baking powder and cinnamon. Mix with a whisk to break up any clumps.
- Toss in butter chunks. Using your cool fingers or a pastry cutter, combine until you have a crumbly mixture.
- Press half into the prepared pan. Press down lightly and make sure you go all the way to the corners.
- Spread the strawberry jam with a rubber spatula or an offset spatula.
- Sprinkle the rest of the crumble over the top of the jam. Gently pat down.
- Bake for about 20 to 28 minutes until the top turns light brown.
- Let cool on wire rack about 15 to 20 minutes for eating them warm. Cut into squares.
- Can sit on the counter in a sealed container for 2 days or in fridge for up to 4 days. Trust me, they won’t last that long.
Enjoy the deliciousness!
