Ingredients

  • 2 cups frozen berries thawed ~ fresh if juicy
  • 2 Tbsp ground flaxseeds
  • 2 Tbsp chopped walnuts omit for WW and nut-free diets
  • 2 Tbsp unsweetened coconut omit for WW option
  • 2 medium spotted bananas mashed ~ green for Low FODMAP
  • 1 cup old fashioned oats gluten-free if needed
  • 1 cup oat flour gluten-free if needed
  • 2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 Tbsp pure maple syrup
  • 1 Tbsp coconut oil melting is not necessary

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350
  • Prepare an 8"x 8" pan with a non-stick spray
  • In a small bowl sprinkle ground flaxseeds over thawed berries.
  • In a medium mixing bowl add all nine of the rest of the ingredients. Mix together well. Set aside 3/4 cup of oat mixture for the topping.  
  • Spread the remaining oat mixture in the bottom of the prepared baking pan and press down evenly.
  • Pour berry mixture over bottom crust. Drop spoonfuls of reserved topping over berries. Take your time to carefully cover as much of the berry layer as possible. I kind of pat the oat mixture with a rubber spatula as I move it over the berries.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes. The oatmeal topping will become golden brown.  
  • These don't have to be room temperature to enjoy. Try these breakfast bars cold, they are delicious...I store mine in the refrigerator.
  • Serve them up and enjoy! We've even had them for dessert with  So Delicious Creamy Vanilla, or ice cream if you prefer.
