Ingredients
  

For the Base
  • ½ cup Coconut Oil Provides moisture and richness; substitute with melted butter or a neutral oil.
  • 1 cup All-Purpose Flour Gives structure to the bars; use a gluten-free flour blend for gluten-free options.
  • 1 ½ cups Quick Oats Adds texture and bulk; rolled oats can be used, but they'll yield a chewier texture.
  • ½ cup Maple Syrup A natural sweetener enhancing flavor and moisture; can be swapped with honey or agave syrup.
  • ½ cup Coconut Sugar Adds sweetness with a hint of caramel flavor; granulated sugar can work, but adjust to taste.
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Powder Helps the bars rise; make sure it's fresh for the best results.
  • a pinch Salt Balances sweetness; essential for flavor.
For the Filling
  • 1 cup Raspberry Preserves Provides moisture and sweetness; feel free to replace with any fruit preserves or fresh berries.

Equipment

  • 8x8 inch baking pan

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Berry Oat Bars
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly spray an 8x8 inch baking pan with non-stick spray.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine ½ cup of melted coconut oil, 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1 ½ cups of quick oats, ½ cup of maple syrup, ½ cup of coconut sugar, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Stir until thoroughly combined.
  3. Press ⅔ of the oat mixture into the bottom of the prepared baking pan to form a base.
  4. Spread the raspberry preserves over the base, leaving about ½ inch around the edges.
  5. Crumble the remaining oat mixture over the raspberry preserves.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until lightly golden brown.
  7. Remove from oven and let cool in the pan before slicing into bars.
