Ingredients & Substitutions
I love using rolled oats and almond flour for a wholesome base, but feel free to swap in whatever you have on hand—like oat flour or even whole wheat flour! And if raspberries aren’t your jam, you could easily substitute with blueberries or strawberries.
Tips & Notes
- •I keep mine in an airtight container in the fridge, and they stay fresh for about a week!
- •If you want an extra touch, drizzle some melted dark chocolate on top after they cool.
Recipe Variations
- •Sometimes, I like to add a pinch of cinnamon to the oat mixture for a warm flavor twist.
- •If I'm feeling adventurous, I might mix in some chopped nuts for a crunchy topping.
Storage & Freezing

Reserve about 1 cup of the oat mixture for the topping, and press the remaining mixture into the bottom of the prepared baking dish to form a crust.

Sprinkle the reserved oat mixture on top of the raspberries, covering them evenly.

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the raspberries are bubbling.

Let them cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then lift them out using the parchment paper and let them cool completely on a wire rack before slicing.
