Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper.

  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the mixed fresh fruits, honey, and cinnamon. Mix well until the fruits are coated with the honey and cinnamon.

  3. In another bowl, combine the rolled oats, almond butter, chopped nuts, shredded coconut, and a pinch of salt. Mix thoroughly until all the ingredients are well combined.

  4. Spread half of the oat mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish, pressing it down firmly to create a solid base.

  5. Spread the fruit mixture over the oat layer, ensuring an even distribution.

  6. Crumble the remaining oat mixture over the top of the fruit layer, gently pressing it down.

  7. Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the fruit layer is bubbly.

  8. Remove the dish from the oven and allow it to cool completely on a wire rack to help the bars set.

  9. Once cooled, use the parchment paper to lift the bars out of the dish and transfer them to a cutting board. Slice into individual bars or squares.

  10. Enjoy fresh or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week.
