Ingredients
  • 1 1/2 cups Rolled Oats
  • 1 cup Whole Wheat Flour
  • 1/2 cup Chopped Walnuts
  • 1/2 cup Brown Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/2 cup Melted Coconut Oil
  • 2 medium Apples (peeled and diced)
  • 1 cup Mixed Berries (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
  • 2 tablespoons Maple Syrup

Prepare the Base

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal. In a large bowl, combine rolled oats, whole wheat flour, chopped walnuts, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt.

Add Melted Coconut Oil

Pour the melted coconut oil over the dry ingredients and mix until well combined. The mixture should resemble coarse crumbs.

Press Half the Mixture

Press half of the oat mixture into the prepared baking pan to form a firm base.

Prepare the Fruit Filling

In a separate bowl, combine diced apples, mixed berries, lemon juice, and maple syrup. Stir gently to coat the fruit.

Layer the Fruit Filling

Spread the fruit filling evenly over the oat base in the baking pan.

Add the Crumble Topping

Sprinkle the remaining oat mixture evenly over the fruit filling.

Bake

Bake for 30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the fruit filling is bubbly.

Cool and Cut

Let the bars cool completely in the pan before lifting them out using the parchment paper overhang. Cut into 12 bars.
