Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups old‑fashioned rolled oats
- ½ cup almond flour or oat flour
- 1 cup mixed berries (fresh or frozen)
- ⅓ cup honey or maple syrup
- ¼ cup melted coconut oil or butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon salt
- Optional: 1 tablespoon chia seeds, 1 teaspoon lemon zest, or ½ teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8‑inch pan with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine oats, almond or oat flour, salt, and any optional chia, lemon zest, or cinnamon.
- Stir in melted coconut oil (or butter), honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla until well combined and sticky.
- Press about two‑thirds of mixture firmly into the bottom of the pan to form the crust.
- Evenly scatter mixed berries over the crust (no need to thaw if frozen).
- Crumble remaining oat mixture on top and gently press down.
- Bake for 30–35 minutes until top is golden and berries are bubbly.
- Cool bars completely in the pan before slicing to allow them to firm up.
Notes
- Use all raspberries or blueberries depending on preference.
- Add a splash of lemon juice to berries for extra brightness.
- Mix chopped almonds or walnuts into crumble for texture.
- Add a scoop of vanilla protein powder and adjust liquid for extra protein.
- Let bars cool or chill briefly before slicing to prevent crumbling.
