Ingredients
- ½ cup coconut oil {room temp}
- ½ cup brown sugar {packed}
- 1 cup whole-wheat flour
- ¼ tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1 ½ cups rolled oats
- ¾ cup pureed fruit or jam {I obviously used apricots}
Instructions
- Prep: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9x13 pan with cooking spray.
- Oat mixture: Combine coconut oil, brown sugar, flour, baking soda, salt and rolled oats. Mix with a Kitchenaid or hand mixer until coarse crumbles form.
- Assemble: Press 2 cups of the mixture into the bottom of the 9x13 pan.
- Spoon the fruit puree over the top. Try and spread it around as evenly as possible- no need to be perfect here. Once the fruit touches the oat mixture, if you try and spread it a lot it mixes the two, which you don't want. You want it layered. So do your best to spread the fruit around as evenly as possible as you're adding it to the pan.
- Spread the remaining oatmeal mixture over the top of the fruit.
- Bake: Bake at 350 degrees for about 30-35 minutes, until edges of oatmeal crust are beginning to brown. Cool completely.
- Frosting: In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, powdered sugar, and milk. Whisk until smooth, transfer to a plastic baggie and cut the corner to drizzle across cooled bars.
- Cut into squares. Enjoy for an afternoon snack or with fruit for breakfast!
Notes
