Healthy Strawberry Oatmeal Bars (WIP)

Ingredients
1 cup quick or rolled oats
1/2 cup oat flour
1/4 tsp each: cinnamon, salt, and baking powder
1/3 cup plus 1 T. monk fruit sweetener
1/3 cup oil
2 cups diced strawberries
1 1/2 tsp  arrowroot

Directions
Preheat oven to 350 F. Line an 8×8 pan with parchment. In a large bowl, stir together the oats, flour, cinnamon, salt, baking powder, and monk fruit sweetener. Stir in the oil, then very firmly press 2/3 of the dough into the prepared pan, reserving the remaining dough. In a separate bowl, stir berries, starch, and 1 tbsp sweetener. Press this on top of the dough in the pan, then sprinkle the reserved dough on top. Press down very firmly again. Bake 35 minutes on the center rack. Let cool, then refrigerate at least 1 hour before cutting, as they firm up considerably. Eat plain, or top with melted coconut butter.
