Line an 8 x 8-inch pan with parchment paper. Set aside.

In a large mixing bowl, add your dry ingredients and mix well. Add your nut/seed butter of choice and maple syrup and mix until a crumbly texture remains. Using a tablespoon, add milk of choice, one tablespoon at a time, until a thick dough remains. 

Transfer the batter to the lined pan. Top with freeze-dried strawberries, press into the bars, and drizzle with coconut butter. Refrigerate until firm.  

Once firm, cut into 12 bars. Enjoy!
