Raspberry Almond Crumble Bars Recipe

Ingredients (Makes 9 Bars)
For the Crust & Crumble:

• 1 ½ cups rolled oats

• 1 cup almond flour

• ¼ cup coconut sugar

• ½ tsp cinnamon

• ¼ tsp salt

• ½ cup coconut oil, melted

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

For the Raspberry Filling:

• 1 ½ cups fresh raspberries

• 2 tbsp maple syrup

• 1 tbsp chia seeds

• 1 tsp lemon juice

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Make the Raspberry Filling
   In a small saucepan, heat raspberries, maple syrup, and lemon juice over medium heat. Stir and mash until juicy (about 5 minutes). Remove from heat, stir in chia seeds, and let cool.

2. Prepare the Crust & Crumble
   Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). In a bowl, mix oats, almond flour, coconut sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Add melted coconut oil and vanilla, mixing until crumbly.

3. Assemble & Bake
   Press ¾ of the oat mixture into a lined 8x8” baking pan. Spread raspberry filling over the crust, then sprinkle remaining crumble on top.

4. Bake & Serve
   Bake for 25–30 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool completely before slicing into bars.
