Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 cups rolled oats
• 1 cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free blend)
• 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup melted coconut oil
• 1/4 cup maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen raspberries
• 2 tablespoons chia seeds (optional, for thickening the raspberry filling)

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease an 8×8 inch baking pan.
2. In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, flour, brown sugar, baking soda, and salt.
3. Add the melted coconut oil, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined and crumbly.
4. Press about 2/3 of the oat mixture into the bottom of the prepared baking pan.
5. In a separate bowl, combine the raspberries and chia seeds (if using). Gently mash the raspberries to release their juices.
6. Spread the raspberry mixture evenly over the oat base.
7. Crumble the remaining oat mixture over the raspberry layer.
8. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown.
9. Let the bars cool completely before cutting into squares. This is important for them to set properly.

Tips and Variations:

• Use gluten-free oats and flour blend to make these bars gluten-free.
• Substitute the raspberries with other berries like blueberries or blackberries.
• Add a sprinkle of chopped nuts like almonds or pecans on top before baking.
• For a richer flavor, use coconut sugar instead of brown sugar.
