These have been my most recent obsession! They are so good. I am not a coconut fan, but the coconut oil is just the perfect amount of coconut flavor. I have tried them with butter but I prefer the taste and texture with the coconut oil. I often use and all fruit or honey sweetened jam.
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups freshly milled soft white wheat berries (whole wheat pastry flour)
- 1 1/4 cups rolled oats
- 1/2 cup coconut oil (feel free to substitute butter)
- 1/4 cup raw honey
- 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1 cup jam or preserve of choice
Method:
- Preheat the oven to 350F
- Butter an 8" square baking or cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk the flour, oats, salt, and baking soda.
- Add the coconut oil (preferably melted), honey, and maple syrup.
- Transfer about 2/3 of the mixture to the prepared baking pan. Pack the mixture down firmly.
- With a spoon, spread the jam or preserves over the dough.
- Sprinkle the remaining 1/3 mixture over the preserves.
- Finish with a sprinkle of oats to cover any bare areas.
- Bake for 20 - 25 minutes or until the top is golden brown.
- Allow to cool completely before cutting.
These bars can be kept in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
