Ingredients
Scale
2 cups frozen berries
1 Tablespoon lemon juice
2 Tablespoons coconut sugar
2 Tablespoons maple syrup
a pinch sea salt
1 ½ Tablespoons tapioca starch
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×8 inch baking dish with parchment paper.
- In a medium saucepan, combine the frozen berries, lemon juice, coconut sugar, maple syrup, sea salt, and tapioca starch. Cook over medium heat until the mixture starts to bubble and thicken, about 5-7 minutes.
- Remove from heat and let the filling cool slightly.
- Meanwhile, prepare the oatmeal base by mixing rolled oats, almond flour, and a pinch of salt in a bowl.
- Press half of the oat mixture into the bottom of the prepared baking dish to form a crust.
- Spread the berry filling evenly over the oat crust.
- Top with the remaining oat mixture and gently press down.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown. Allow to cool completely before slicing into bars.
