Olive Oil

spoon

Ingredients

2 cups organic gluten-free rolled oats
1/2 teaspoon Ceylon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon Himalayan pink salt
1/4 teaspoon aluminum-free baking soda
1/2 cup virgin coconut oil melted
1/4 cup pure maple syrup preferably grade A dark
1/4 cup coconut palm sugar
1 teaspoon Madagascar vanilla extract
2 ripe organic bananas, mashed
1/2 cup unsweetened toasted coconut flakes
1/4 cup chopped walnuts lightly toasted (optional)
Garnish: A drizzle of artisanal honey a sprinkle of edible gold leaf (optional)

Instructions

Preheat and Prep:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8 inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.

Dry Ingredient Mix:

In a large bowl, whisk together the rolled oats, Ceylon cinnamon, pink salt, and baking soda. Ensure even distribution.

Wet Ingredient Blend:

In a separate bowl, mix the melted coconut oil, maple syrup, coconut sugar, and vanilla extract. Stir in the mashed bananas until well combined.

Combine and Fold:

Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Add the toasted coconut flakes and walnuts, if using, and fold until just combined. Avoid over-mixing.

Bake the Oat Squares:

Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish. Spread evenly and press down gently with a spatula.
Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and the center is set.

Cool and Garnish:

Let the squares cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then use the parchment overhangs to lift out onto a wire rack. Cool completely before slicing.
For a touch of luxury, lightly drizzle with artisanal honey and sprinkle edible gold leaf over the squares.

Serve:

Slice into squares. Serve as a refined tea-time snack or a sophisticated breakfast option.
