Equipment

  • 8-inch square baking pan
  • Parchment paper
  • Mixing bowls
  • Small saucepan

Ingredients
  

For the Base:

  • 2 1/2 cups almond flour
  • 1 cup gluten-free rolled oats
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/3 cup melted butter or coconut oil
  • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Filling:

  • 12 ounces fresh raspberries
  • 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1 tablespoon tapioca flour

For the Topping:

  • 1/4 cup raw pecans roughly chopped

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the Oven: Set the oven to 350°F and line an 8-inch square pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
  • Prepare the Base: In a bowl, combine almond flour, oats, cinnamon, melted butter, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir until a crumbly mixture forms. Reserve a quarter of this mixture for the topping. Press the rest firmly into the pan to form an even layer. Bake for 13-15 minutes, until slightly golden.
  • Make the Filling: In a small saucepan over medium heat, cook the raspberries, maple syrup, and lemon juice for about 5-7 minutes, stirring and mashing the fruit until it forms a thick puree. Remove from heat, then mix in chia seeds and tapioca flour.
  • Assemble the Bars: Once the base has cooled slightly, spread the raspberry filling evenly over it.
  • Add the Topping: To the reserved base mixture, stir in chopped pecans. Sprinkle this crumble over the raspberry layer and gently press it in.
  • Bake the Bars: Return the pan to the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the topping is golden.
  • Cool and Slice: Let the bars cool completely in the pan before slicing. This prevents them from falling apart.

Notes

Storage: Store bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Serving Tip: These bars pair wonderfully with yogurt for breakfast or as a topping for vanilla ice cream.
Tip: If the bars crumble when sliced, they make a fantastic addition to parfaits or as a granola topping!
