Pour the dry ingredients into the wet mixture and stir to combine . The batter will be very wet. Fold in the diced strawberries and almonds, then pour into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top.

Bake for 35 minutes or until the bars are thickened and golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool, cut into bars, and serve.
