- 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
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.
