Ingredients
- For the filling:
- 1 3/4 cups Mixed fresh or frozen wild berries (blueberries, raspberries, strawberries)
- 1/4 cup raw honey or maple syrup
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 2 tbsp arrowroot starch
- 1/2 tsp alcohol free vanilla extract
- For the base + topping:
- 1 cup gluten-free rolled oats
- 2 cups gluten free oat flour
- 1/2 cup coconut sugar
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- 1/2 cup melted refined coconut oil
- A pinch of sea salt
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350F.
- Line an 8x8 inch pan with parchment paper. Set aside.
- To make the filling, place a small pot over medium-high heat. Add the wild blueberries, raw honey or maple syrup, lemon juice, arrowroot, and vanilla extract or powder. Stir until evenly mixed. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook, stirring often, until thick and bubbly, about 2-3 minutes. Remove and set aside to cool for 10 minutes.
- To make the base and topping, combine the oat flour, oats, coconut sugar and cinnamon in a large mixing bowl. Pour in the melted coconut oil and stir until the dough clumps together. Place 2 cups of the mixture into the prepared pan and set aside the rest. Press the mixture evenly to the base of the pan using your fingers or a flat-bottomed glass.
- Pour the berry filling on top of the base and spread out evenly. Sprinkle the rest of the crumb mixture over the filling. Bake for 35-40 minutes, until the filling is bubbly and the top golden. Remove from oven and cool completely before slicing into bars.
