This is a sweet, chewy, crumbly and fresh tasting low-FODMAP Strawberry Oat Bar recipe. I used to be a big fan of date bars, and this is an even better low-FODMAP alternative. You can also swap out the low-FODMAP strawberry coulis for a raspberry version! Not only are these bars scrumptious, they look perfect on any dessert table.
This low-FODMAP Strawberry (Raspberry) Oat Bar recipe is so easy, and you can make extra low-FODMAP Strawberry Coulis to enjoy on your other baked products, ice cream or yogurt. Hint: for a different flavor- try this with my low-FODMAP Rhubarb Jam recipe!
