Ingredients
  

1 cup rolled oats

1 cup almond flour (or substitute with whole wheat flour)

1/2 cup brown sugar, packed firmly

1/4 cup coconut oil, melted (or use unsalted butter)

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

2 cups fresh peaches, diced (approximately 2 medium peaches)

1 cup fresh raspberries

1 tablespoon cornstarch

2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (optional, for extra sweetness)

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8x8 inch square baking dish or line it with parchment paper for easier removal later on.

    Create the Oat Crust: In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, almond flour, brown sugar, melted coconut oil, salt, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon. Stir the mixture until it becomes well combined and crumbly.

      Form the Crust: Set aside about 1/2 cup of the oat mixture for the topping. Evenly press the remaining oat mixture into the bottom of the prepared baking dish to form a solid crust layer. Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes.

        Prepare the Fruit Filling: While the crust is baking, take a medium bowl and mix together the diced peaches, raspberries, cornstarch, and if desired, honey or maple syrup. Gently toss the fruit until it's evenly coated with cornstarch.

          Assemble the Squares: Once the crust is baked for 10 minutes, take it out of the oven. Evenly spread the peach and raspberry mixture over the crust. Then, sprinkle the reserved oat mixture over the top to create a crumbly topping.

            Bake the Squares: Return the baking dish to the oven and bake for an additional 25-30 minutes. The topping should be golden brown, and the fruit mixture should be bubbling when done.

              Cool and Slice: After baking, remove the dish from the oven and let it cool in the baking dish for at least 15 minutes. Carefully lift the squares out using the parchment paper and transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

                Serve: These Peach Raspberry Oat Squares can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature. They make a wonderful breakfast treat or a healthy dessert option. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
