Berrie Oat Wondie Bars Recipe

Berrie Oat Wondie Bars Recipe

  • 5 cups gluten-free oats, divided
  • ¼ cup brown rice syrup
  • ½ cup maple syrup, divided
  • 1 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3½ cups mixed berries
  • ¼ cup corn flour or arrowroot powder
  1. Place 2 cups of the oats in a food processor and pulse until the oats resemble fine oat bran. Set aside.
  2. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  3. In the bowl of a standing mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the reserved oat flour, the remaining 3 cups oats, and the brown rice syrup, ¼ cup of the maple syrup, olive oil, salt, and vanilla until thoroughly combined, about 3 minutes.
  4. Firmly press two-thirds of the dough onto a 9- by 12-inch baking sheet. Bake until light brown, about 15 minutes.
  5. While the dough is baking, combine the berries, corn flour, and the remaining ¼ cup of the maple syrup in a medium-size bowl.
  6. Evenly distribute the berry mixture over the baked oat crust. Crumble the remaining one-third of the dough over the berries, pressing it down firmly. Bake until a golden crust forms, about 40 minutes.
