How to Make Healthy Oatmeal Bars

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 9x9 baking dish with parchment paper.
  • In a saucepan over low-medium heat, combine frozen berries, lemon juice, coconut sugar, maple syrup, and sea salt. Cook for 5-10 minutes until thickened.
  • Mix tapioca starch with a bit of the berry mixture until smooth, then return to the saucepan and heat for about 1 minute until it thickens.
  • In a large bowl, combine rolled oats, almond flour, baking soda, and sea salt. Stir in maple syrup, vanilla extract, and solid coconut oil until well combined.
  • Reserve ½-¾ cup of the mixture for topping; press the rest into the prepared baking dish for the base.
  • Pour the cooled berry mixture over the oatmeal base and spread evenly.
  • Crumble the reserved oatmeal mixture over the berry layer evenly.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
  • Cool completely before slicing.

Notes

Serve with a dollop of Greek yogurt for added creaminess. Store leftovers in the fridge for up to a week.
