Calories: 376kcal
Ingredients
- ½ C coconut oil melted
- 1 ½ C all-purpose flour or gluten free substitute
- 1 ½ C quick oats
- ⅓ C maple syrup
- ⅓ C coconut sugar or granulated white sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ C creamy peanut butter
- ½ C raspberry preserves or any preserves or jam you prefer
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray an 8×8 baking pan with non-stick spray. Set aside.
- Mix all ingredients in a large bowl, except for peanut butter and preserves.
- Set aside ⅓ of mixture. Mix peanut butter into the remaining ⅔ of mixture.
- Using your hands press the peanut butter mixture into the bottom of your pan until it’s even and relatively flat.
- Gently spread preserves, leaving ½″ around the outside. (The preserves will scald if up against the edge of the pan.)
- Using your hands, evenly crumble the remaining ⅓ of the mixture over the top of the preserves and lightly press so the crumbles stay in place after baking.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes on a center rack until lightly browned on top.
- Let cool in pan on top of a cooling rack. Cut and serve!
