Ingredients

2 cups old fashioned oats
2 tablespoon ground flaxseed
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
½ teaspoon ground ginger
½ teaspoon kosher salt
¼ cup pure maple syrup
1 ¼ cup cup nondairy milk
½ cup chopped pecans
2 cups fresh or frozen blackberries, blueberries, or cherries

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375 F.
Combine all ingredients in a large bowl until well mixed. Let sit at least five minutes until some liquid is absorbed. Fold in the blackberries being careful not to break them up too much.
Line a 9 x5 inch loaf pan with parchment paper. Pour the oat mixture into the pan. Bake 45-50 minutes until the center is set.
Remove from the pan. Set on a cooling rack. Once cool, slice into 8 bars.

Notes

Storage tip:

Eat within a few days. Or freeze for 3 months or more really.

Recipe substitutions

This recipe is forgiving. Use what's in your pantry to make it work.

Nuts and seeds: This recipe works with chopped walnuts or pecans. Swap in sunflower or pumpkin seeds to keep the recipe nut-free.

Fruit: Swap equal amounts of fresh or frozen blueberries or blackberries, dried cherries, or leftover fresh homemade jam like peach or strawberry.

Milk: To keep the recipe vegan, use a non-dairy milk. Use shaken canned coconut milk, or cashew, almond, or hemp milk, or dairy milk equally in this recipe.

Sweetener: Maple syrup adds a deep rich flavor but can be swapped for a ¼ cup brown sugar.
