Ingredients
  

1 cup rolled oats

1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut

1/2 cup almond flour

1/2 cup maple syrup or honey

1/4 cup coconut oil, melted

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1 cup fresh or frozen raspberries

1/4 teaspoon sea salt

1/4 teaspoon baking powder

Optional: 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips for drizzling

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare an 8x8-inch baking pan by lining it with parchment paper, ensuring there’s an overhang on the sides to facilitate easy lifting later.

    Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, unsweetened shredded coconut, almond flour, sea salt, and baking powder. Mix these dry ingredients thoroughly until they are well combined.

      Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted coconut oil, maple syrup (or honey), and pure vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and fully blended.

        Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir until everything is thoroughly incorporated; the mixture should begin to clump together cohesively.

          Fold in Raspberries: Carefully fold in the raspberries, ensuring they remain whole for bursts of flavor in every bite.

            Press into Pan: Transfer your mixture to the prepared baking pan. Use your hands or the back of a spatula to press down firmly and evenly, ensuring the mixture is compacted into a uniform layer.

              Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes. You'll know they're ready when the edges turn a delightful golden brown and the center feels set.

                Cool and Cut: Once done, remove the pan from the oven and allow it to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. When cooled, lift the parchment paper from the pan and transfer the block onto a cutting board. Cut into square slices or bars to your preferred size.

                  Optional Chocolate Drizzle: For an extra indulgent touch, melt the dark chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl, heating in 30-second intervals and stirring in between until smooth. Drizzle the melted chocolate over the tops of the cooled slices for an added layer of sweetness.

                    Serve and Enjoy: These Sweet Raspberry Coconut Slices can be enjoyed immediately or stored in an airtight container for up to a week, perfect for a snack or a sweet treat!
