Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 9x9 baking dish with parchment paper.
- In a medium saucepan, combine frozen berries, lemon juice, coconut sugar, maple syrup, and sea salt. Cook over medium heat for 5-10 minutes until tender.
- Scoop 1-2 tablespoons of the berry mixture into a small bowl, mix with tapioca starch until smooth, then return to the saucepan and stir for 1 minute to thicken.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, almond flour, baking soda, and sea salt. Add the maple syrup, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract, mixing until a dough forms.
- Set aside ½-¾ cup of the oatmeal mixture, then press the rest firmly into the bottom of the lined baking dish.
- Spread the thickened berry filling evenly over the crust.
- Crumble the reserved oatmeal mixture over the berry filling evenly.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes until the edges are golden brown and the middle is set.
- Let cool completely in the pan before slicing into bars.
