You need rolled oats, almond flour, shredded coconut, almond butter, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Don't forget the raspberries, baking powder, salt, and sliced almonds for the top. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving a bit hanging over the sides. This helps you lift the bars out later. In a bowl, mix the rolled oats, almond flour, shredded coconut, baking powder, and salt. Stir them until they blend well. In another bowl, combine almond butter, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth. Pour the wet mix into the dry ingredients. Stir them together until everything is sticky and well mixed. Then, gently fold in the raspberries. Make sure to keep some whole for a nice texture. Transfer the mixture into your prepared baking pan. Spread it out evenly and press down to form a solid layer. Sprinkle the top with sliced almonds. This adds a tasty crunch. Bake your bars in the oven for 20-25 minutes. You want the edges to be golden brown. To check if they’re done, stick a toothpick in the center. If it comes out clean, they are ready! Once baked, take the pan out of the oven. Let it cool for about 10 minutes in the pan. Use the parchment paper to lift the bars out carefully. Transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. After they cool, slice them into bars. These raspberry almond oat bars are perfect for a snack or a sweet treat. Enjoy your creation! For the full recipe, check out the detailed instructions above. To achieve a chewy texture, you can adjust the baking time. Bake for less time, about 20 minutes, until the edges turn golden. For crunchier bars, extend the baking to 25 minutes. This gives the edges more time to crisp up. You may also use more almond flour to boost the chewiness. Adding a touch more almond butter can help keep them moist. If you run low on almond flour, oat flour works well. You can also use peanut butter instead of almond butter for a different taste. For sweetness, try agave syrup if you don't have honey or maple syrup. If you need a nut-free option, sunflower seed butter is a great choice. You can swap raspberries for blueberries or chopped apples based on your taste. Store the bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. For longer storage, place them in the fridge. If you want to freeze them, wrap each bar in plastic wrap and place in a freezer bag. They can last for up to three months in the freezer. To reheat, pop them in the microwave for about 10 seconds. This softens them and brings back their fresh flavor. You can enjoy them warm or at room temperature. For the full recipe, check the previous section. {{image_2}} You can switch the almond butter for other nut butters. Peanut butter works great for a classic taste. Cashew butter gives a creamy texture with a unique flavor. If you prefer nuts, try using chopped walnuts or pecans instead of sliced almonds. Each nut brings its own taste and crunch to the bars. Raspberries are delicious, but you can use other fruits too. Blueberries add a sweet burst. Chopped strawberries give a nice twist. If you want something tropical, use diced mango or pineapple. Just remember to adjust the sugar if you use sweeter fruits. Each fruit offers a new flavor adventure! You can easily make these bars gluten-free. Just use certified gluten-free oats. For a vegan version, swap honey for maple syrup. This keeps the bars sweet and plant-based. If you want more binding, add mashed banana or applesauce. These changes keep the bars tasty and friendly for all diets. Check out the Full Recipe for more details! To keep your raspberry almond oat bars fresh, store them in an airtight container. Place a piece of parchment paper between layers to avoid sticking. You can keep them at room temperature for up to four days. If you want them to last longer, consider refrigeration. In the fridge, they can stay fresh for about a week. This method helps maintain their taste and texture. If you want to store the bars for even longer, freezing is a great option. First, let the bars cool completely. Then, cut them into squares. Wrap each square in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer-safe bag. You can freeze them for up to three months. When you’re ready to eat one, just take it out and let it thaw at room temperature. For the best taste and texture, try to eat the bars within one week if stored in the fridge. If frozen, use them within three months for the best quality. Mark the date on the container so you know when to enjoy them. These bars are best eaten fresh, but they still taste good even after some time! Yes, you can skip almond flour. Use more rolled oats instead. You may also use oat flour if you have it. This change keeps the texture nice. You can use agave nectar or brown rice syrup. Both options work well. They add sweetness just like honey or maple syrup. These bars stay fresh for up to one week in the fridge. Just make sure to store them in an airtight container. This keeps them moist and tasty. Yes, adding protein powder is a great idea!

Ingredients
  

1 ½ cups rolled oats

½ cup almond flour

¼ cup unsweetened shredded coconut

½ cup almond butter

⅓ cup honey or maple syrup

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup fresh or frozen raspberries

½ teaspoon baking powder

Pinch of salt

¼ cup sliced almonds (for topping)

Instructions
 

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.

    In a mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, almond flour, shredded coconut, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to ensure the dry ingredients are evenly distributed.

      In a separate bowl, mix together the almond butter, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.

        Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until fully incorporated. The mixture will be somewhat sticky.

          Gently fold in the raspberries, being careful not to mash them too much, as you want to keep some whole for texture.

            Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly. Press down firmly to create an even layer.

              Sprinkle the top with sliced almonds for an added crunch.

                Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

                  Remove from the oven and allow to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Use the parchment paper overhang to lift the bars out of the pan and transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

                    Once fully cooled, slice into bars and serve.
