Submitted by: Susan
Ingredients:
- 250g butter, melted
- 1 ½ cups whole oats
- 1 ½ cups flour
- ½ cup desiccated coconut
- 2 tbsp chia seeds
- 2 tsp vanilla bean powder, paste or essence
- ⅓ cup sultanas
- pinch of salt
- ⅓ cup sugar (coconut, rice malt or maple)
- 3 tbsp water
- 2 cups frozen berries
How to Make it:
- Line a 25cm x 18cm oven tray with baking paper and pre-heat your oven to 200°C. Melt the butter in a saucepan whilst combining all the dry ingredients in a large bowl.
- Add the melted butter with the water to the dry ingredients and stir/use your hands to combine. Make sure the mixture is holding together. If it isn’t, add a little more butter.
- Push ¾ of the mixture into the lined tray, ensuring no holes are left by pressing down very firmly. Arrange the frozen berries over the mixture and sprinkle with the vanilla bean powder. Finish by sprinkling the remaining ¼ of oat mixture on top and bake for 35 minutes or until golden. Allow to cool in the pan before slicing.
- Served from the fridge is great. Not only is this slice delicious cold, but it also tends to hold together better.

Recipe Notes:
I often let this cool in the fridge or freezer before cutting; that way, it stays together perfectly. But if you make sure you give it a good ‘press’ into the tin, you’ll find it holds together great.
Gluten-Free: Sub for 1/2 buckwheat and tapioca flour. And use quinoa flakes in the oats place.
