Raspberry Jam Bars

This recipe is a one-bowl wonder that comes together in minutes and can be served warm, chilled or at room temp. Sweet, tart and gooey, these raspberry jam bars are a crowd pleaser!

Calories: 247kcal

Ingredients

1/2 cup Miyoko’s butter room temp
1 cup oat flour
1/2 cup coconut sugar
1/4 cup maple syrup
1/2 cup rolled oats
1/4 cup macadamia nuts roughly chopped
1/4 cup coconut flakes shredded
3/4 cup raspberry jam

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350ºF.
Lightly grease an 8×8 baking dish with coconut oil.
Set the dish aside while you prepare the bar mixture.
In a large bowl, mix the butter, oat flour, coconut sugar and maple syrup until combined.
Fold in the oats, macadamia nuts, and coconut flakes.
Put about 2/3 of the oat dough into the baking dish. Press it down making sure the bottom layer is even.
The jam can be at room temp or cold so it spreads easily.
Top the crust with a layer of jam, making sure it is evenly spread over the crust.
Use the amount of jam that looks good to you.
Using your fingers, sprinkle the remaining dough on top of the jam, so it looks like a crumble topping.
Bake the bars for 25-30 minutes, until golden brown.
Allow to cool before slicing with a knife (if you can wait).
Serve for breakfast, dessert or whenever you feel like eating it.
Enjoy!

Toasted Muesli with Coconut, Dark Chocolate and Macadamia Nuts

Since it’s so versatile and easy to transport, Muesli makes the best treat to have at work, take it with you on the road or just enjoy it as a meal with a variety of toppings. Put it in a mason jar, screw on the lid, and take it with you! Oats are very satisfying and this snack can keep you full for hours.
The end result is a lightly sweetened, slightly crunchy muesli. Try it with cold oat milk, or heat it up together with the milk to create a hot cereal. The add ons are endless from coconut yogurt to dried fruit, fresh fruit or seeds. I love the texture, flavors, flexibility and creativity in this delicious muesli!

Roasted Triple Squash with Brussels Sprouts, Pecans and Cauli Crumble

This delish dish is packed with flavor, antioxidants, colorful nutrients and crunch! 3 different squash (Acorn, Butternut and Honey Nut) make this one healthy meal as they are rich sources of vitamins A, C, K, and minerals like magnesium, potassium, manganese, coppper, phosphorus, calcium and iron. The topping, Cauli Crumble, takes just a few minutes to cook and adds a substantial amount of fiber and protein to the meal. This is a simple dish that is great for the holidays or any day of the week!

Spicy Spud Balls

These spicy spud balls are packed full of flavor with fresh herbs, spices, oats and red potatoes. They are incredibly delicious and nutritious with a nice crunchy outside. I’ve made many versions of balls and burgers using beans and grains but never potatoes. So why not try it! I can honestly say they were way better than I’d expected them to be and a big hit with my taste tester. We enjoyed eating them with pasta, salad and just by themselves with sauce.
