Raspberry Bars

Yields20 Servings

Ingredients
Wet Ingredients
 3 tbsp Water (can substitute carrot or orange juice for extra vitamins)
 1 tbsp Molasses
 ¼ cup Maple Syrup
 ¾ cup Refined Coconut Oil
 1 tbsp Vanilla
Dry Ingredients
 2 tbsp Flax ground
 2 ½ cups Rolled Oats
 1 cup Whole Wheat Rye or Spelt Flour
 1 cup All Purpose Flour
 ½ cup Brown Sugar packed
 1 tsp Baking Soda
<i>Filling</i>
 16 oz Raspberry Jam (I like to use a pure fruit one with no added sugar)
Preparation
1

Pre-heat the oven to 350 F. Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with avocado or coconut oil, and set it aside.

2

Add all dry ingredients to a large bowl. Mix.

3

Add all the wet ingredients to the bowl with the dry. Mix.

4

Pour half the oatmeal cookie mixture into the greased dish, and use a spatula or your hands to press the dough firmly and evenly into the pan (be sure to get all the corners). Then spread the jam over the cookie dough in an even layer. Finally, crumble the last half of the dough over the jam layer as evenly as possible.

5

Bake for 18-25 minutes. The cookie bars should be just barely browning around the edge of the dish. Allow the cookies to cool and set completely (ideally, several hours) before slicing and serving. This allows the coconut oil to firm up, and keeps the cookies from falling apart (although they will still be nice and chewy and gooey from the jam).
