It’s crazy to think half the year has come and gone. |
Ingredients:
Berry Filling
Instructions:
1. Preheat the oven to 350 F and line a 9 x 5 loaf pan with aluminum foil,
keeping some above the rim to use as handles to lift out the bars.
2. For the berry filling, in a medium sized bowl, add the strawberries, sweetener, cornstarch, chia seeds, and lemon juice.
Toss the berries around until the cornstarch is no longer visible and the berries start to release some juice. Set aside.
3. For the oat bars, in a large bowl, add the oats, almond butter, coconut, maple syrup, and salt.
Stir until well combined and the mixture sticks together if you press some together between your hands.
4. Reserve 3/4 of a cup of the oat bar mixture.
5. With the remaining amount of the oat bar mixture, firmly press it into the prepared loaf pan using your hands or the bottom of a flat cup.
6. Evenly spread the berry mixture on top of the oat bar mixture (including the liquid that gets released).
7. Crumble the reserved 3/4 cup of oat bar mixture on top of the berry filling.
8. Add the blueberries on top. Lightly press the top of the bars down so that everything sticks together.
9. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 – 22 minutes or until the top is firm to the touch.
10. Allow the bars to cool almost completely in the pan (about 30 min.).
Then remove them from the pan using the aluminum foil overhand as handles, and allow the bars to cool
completely before cutting (you can put them in the fridge to speed up this process if you’d like).
