    This simple recipe for gluten free strawberry jam bars uses fresh strawberries and strawberry jam. They have a shortbread like base and an oatmeal crisp topping. These are the best gluten free fruit bars for dessert, breakfast or brunch.

    I love these bars warm with homemade whipped cream or vanilla ice cream as a dessert option. They also work well for a breakfast or brunch option and are delicious served with coffee. These gluten free strawberry jam bars can easily be made the day before you want to serve them.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Can I use frozen strawberries with this recipe?

    Yes. Be sure to completely defrost the strawberries and then strain them so they don't have excess water or juice. Although, I think this recipe is the most delicious with fresh strawberries.

    Do gluten free strawberry jam bars need to be refrigerated?

    Yes. The fruit mixture in these bars needs to be refrigerated. They are ok out for a bit, but should be refrigerated when you are done serving them. It's especially important to refrigerate your bars during warm months. Without preservatives your bars can go badly quickly if left out on the counter.

    How should I store strawberry jam bars?

    You can place a lid or plastic wrap over the container you baked the bars in and store them like that. I also like placing each bar in a small glass container so they are ready for single servings.

    Then they can be taken out of the fridge for a quick treat or to be put into a lunch box. If they've been in the refrigerator for over three days I put the individual containers in the freezer for later.

    Top Tip

    I used fresh strawberries, but you could also use frozen strawberries. You will want to thaw the frozen strawberries completely and then drain any excess water or juice from them before adding them to the recipe. Although, I like fresh strawberries best in this recipe.
