Recipe Ingredients
- 16 ounces Sunkist Frozen Berry Medley
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 3/4 cup oat flour (made by grinding 3/4 cup of oats in a blender until flour-y)
- 1/2 cup coconut sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon pink salt
- 6 tablespoons unsalted grass-fed butter
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- Juice and zest from 1/2 a lemon
Recipe Directions
- Partially defrost the berries at room temperature in a large bowl for about an hour.
- Meanwhile, make the oat flour if you haven’t already.
- Preheat the oven to 375. Line an 8x8" square pan with parchment paper in two directions, so all sides are covered. Leave excess parchment paper so you have handles for removing the bars.
- In a medium bowl, stir together the oats, oat flour, coconut sugar, cinnamon and salt. Set aside.
- Melt the butter in the microwave in a small dish.
- Pour the butter into the oat mixture and stir until everything is evenly mixed.
- Remove a heaping 1/2 cup of the oat mixture and reserve it for the top.
- Press the oat mixture into the prepared pan. Press it firmly and evenly to make the crust.
- Next, drain the juice from the berries (but don't toss it--either drink it straight or stir it into some sparkling water or a smoothie).
- Gently stir the cornstarch, lemon zest and lemon juice into the berries.
- Pour the berry mixture evenly over the crust.
- Sprinkle the reserved 1/2 cup of oat mixture on top of the berries.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the bars are bubbling and the top is golden brown.
- Let cool completely before slicing into squares and serving.
