Strawberry Oat bars (one bowl recipe)

Ingredients

• Dry Ingredients:
• 1 cup (110g) oat flakes
• 1/2 cup (60g) ground almonds
• 1/4 cup (30g) ground flaxseeds
• 1/3 cup (42g) coconut sugar
• dash of salt
• dash of powdered vanilla
• some shredded coconut (for the top)
• Wet Ingredients:
• 6 tablespoons (124g) coconut oil
• 2 cups (300g) fresh strawberries, chopped

Instructions

• Pre-heat the oven at 190°C.
• Line an 8x8 inch baking pan with baking paper.
• Start by mixing all the dry ingredients, except for coconut, in a bowl.
• Melt the coconut oil if this is solid. I use a double boiler (bain-marie) or a few seconds in the microwave.
• Pour the coconut oil into the dry mixture and combine well.
• Reserve 1/2 cup of this filling and set aside.
• Press the remaining mixture on the bottom of the prepared pan to create an even base layer.
• Scatter the chopped strawberries on top of the base and sprinkle the remaining mixture on top of the strawberries.
• Sprinkle some shredded coconut on top and bake in the oven for 35 to 40 minutes.
• Let cool and store in the fridge before serving, this will help the bars to solidify.
• Cut into 8 equal bars.
