Most strawberry tarts feature a floury, buttery crust with a mixture of cool whip, cream cheese, and a whole lot of sugar oozing underneath those beautiful bright red strawberries.
These strawberry tarts also taste quite heavenly…but are SO not helpful to this now 30-year old’s waistline!
So I went searching for a lighter alternative for a quick strawberry tart recipe with just as much flavor, without packing on extra inches.
With a bit of maple syrup for sweetness, hearty oats, and good-for-you Greek yogurt, you won’t feel guilty indulging in this recipe for breakfast, a light snack, or healthy dessert. It would also make a lovely presentation for a Mother’s Day or shower brunch!
How to Make a Lighter, Quick Strawberry Tart
Step 1: Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Coat an 8″ tart pan with cooking spray or butter. {Don’t have a tart pan? I recommend this one!}
Step 2: Place oats, sunflower seeds (optional), and coconut in a food processor and pulse until finely ground.
Step 3: Place butter, salt, and maple syrup in a small bowl and microwave in 15-sec increments until butter melts. Add to oat mixture and pulse until coarse crumbs form.
Step 4: Press oat and butter mixture into bottom and up the sides of the pan. Bake until golden brown and dry (about 12-15 min.). Let cool on a wire rack.
Step 5: Spread yogurt on top of the crust. Place strawberries on top. Serve immediately. Voila! A quick strawberry tart of your very own!
