Raspberry Oat Bars

Here is recipe #1 in my week long snack series. Just for you Auntie Lala ;).

Raspberry Oat Bars

1/2c organic brown sugar or honey
1c gluten free flour mix ( I used 1/2c brown rice flour and 1/2c gluten free mix)
1/4 tsp baking soda
1 tsp. arrowroot
1/4 tsp. Redmond's real salt
1c oats
1/2c coconut oil or butter, softened
3/4c organic raspberry jam
1/2c chopped nuts (optional) *

Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees. Cream together sugar/honey, flours, baking soda, arrowroot, salt and oats.  Cut in butter or coconut oil. Press 2c of mixture in an 8" greased pan. Spread raspberry jam on top and crumble the remaining oat mixture on top of the jam. Bake for 35-40 minutes. Cool before cutting.

* If using nuts I would add them into the oat mixture after you have taken the 2c out. It makes for a crunchy topping :)  Enjoy!
