Directions
Warm your oven to 375°F (190°C) and greasing a 13x9-inch glass baking dish with cooking spray. Melt the butter in a large microwave-safe bowl—start with 1 minute, and if it’s not fully melted, give it another 30 seconds. Once melted, stir in the corn syrup, brown sugar, and vanilla until everything is well combined. Add the oats and mix everything together; the mixture will be thick, but don’t add any extra liquid. Gently fold in the strawberries and white chocolate chips. Spread the mixture evenly into your prepared dish and press it down lightly. Bake for about 25 minutes, or until the top turns a nice golden color. Let it cool completely before cutting into bars.
