Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup old-fashioned oats
¾ cup brown sugar
½ tsp salt
¾ cup melted coconut oil or unsalted butter
1 tsp alcohol-free vanilla extract
2 cups fresh or frozen raspberries
2 tbsp maple syrup
2 tsp arrowroot powder (or cornstarch)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch pan with parchment.
In a bowl, mix flour, oats, brown sugar, and salt.
Stir in melted coconut oil and vanilla until crumbly.
Press ⅔ of the crust into the prepared pan.

Bars firm up best if chilled before slicing.
Frozen raspberries are ideal for juicier fillings.
Add lemon zest or chopped nuts for flavor variety.
