Nutritious Oat Bars with Fruit

Ingredients 0/11

Step 1

Gently heat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a 10x14-inch baking dish with cooking spray. In a large bowl, beat together the brown sugar and butter with an electric mixer until the mixture is smooth and creamy. In another bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, salt, cinnamon, baking soda, and allspice. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture and mix well. Then, stir in the oats using a wooden spoon until everything is combined. Press half of this oat batter firmly into the bottom of your prepared dish.

Step 2

Pop it into the oven and bake for about 10 minutes. Once it’s out, spread the strawberries and blueberries evenly over the crust. Crumble the remaining oat batter over the fruit and gently press down to flatten everything a bit. Return the dish to the oven and bake for another 20 to 25 minutes, until the edges turn a nice golden brown.

Step 3

Let the bars cool completely in the pan before cutting them into 24 squares. Enjoy!
