- 2 cups old-fashioned oats
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 1/2 cup coconut oil, melted
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
For the Raspberry Filling:
- 2 cups fresh or frozen raspberries
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions:
Oatmeal Base:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking dish with parchment paper, ensuring an overhang for easy removal.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine old-fashioned oats, whole wheat flour, almond flour, melted coconut oil, maple syrup, vanilla extract, baking soda, and salt. Mix until a crumbly yet cohesive dough forms.
- Press two-thirds of the oat mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish, creating a firm and even base for the bars.
Raspberry Filling:
- In a saucepan over medium heat, combine raspberries and maple syrup. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the raspberries break down and the mixture thickens.
- Stir in chia seeds and lemon juice, continuing to cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the filling reaches a jam-like consistency.
- Remove the raspberry filling from heat and let it cool slightly.
Assembly:
- Spread the raspberry filling evenly over the oatmeal base in the baking dish.
- Sprinkle the remaining oat mixture evenly over the raspberry filling, creating a crumbly topping.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.
- Allow the bars to cool completely in the baking dish before lifting them out using the parchment paper overhang.
- Once cooled, cut into squares or bars for serving.
