Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Berry Oat Bars
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare an 8x8 inch baking pan by lightly greasing or lining it.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine melted coconut oil, all-purpose flour, quick oats, maple syrup, coconut sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  3. Press about two-thirds of the mixture into the bottom of your prepared baking pan to create a base layer.
  4. Spread raspberry preserves over the pressed base, leaving about a ½-inch margin around the edges.
  5. Crumble the remaining mixture over the raspberry preserves and gently press it down.
  6. Bake the bars for 25 to 30 minutes or until the top is lightly browned and aromatic.
  7. Allow to cool in the pan on a wire rack for at least 15-20 minutes before slicing.
