INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat the oven to 350F or 180C. Line a 9x9 inch baking dish with cooking spray and parchment paper.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk the dry ingredients - Rolled Oats, Oats Flour, Brown Sugar, Ground Ginger, and Salt. Now, add the melted butter and pure vanilla extract to this and combine everything using a spatula so that it resembles a wet sand-like mixture. Save 1/2 cup of the mixture. Layer the rest at the bottom of the lined baking dish. Press it firmly with your palms to settle it down properly and evenly.
Layer the chopped Strawberries and the dark chocolate chunks over the oats layer. Sprinkle some granulated sugar over them
Finally, sprinkle the remaining oats crumbs over the strawberries. Do not cover it all through. Allow some berries to peak through. Bake @350F or 180C for 30 minutes.
After the Bars get baked, allow it to cool down. Meanwhile make a sugar glaze by combining Granulated sugar with milk and vanilla. Whisk until it gets smooth and lump-free. If you want it thinner, add more milk. Drizzle it over the Bars.
Get the Bars out of the dish and cut into even-sized squares.

Notes

You can freeze these bars without the glaze. Wrap it up tightly using plastic foil wrap and pop it in the freezer. This will stay fresh for 1 week. Thaw in the refrigerator before serving. Do the glaze and serve.
