These Raspberry Oat Crumble Bars are a perfect wholesome breakfast! Raspberry jam is sandwiched between two scrumptious oat and seed crumbly layers. Equally delicious for early mornings or for a mid afternoon treat!
Want to know what my FAVORITE thing in the entire world is?!
Healthy breakfasts that could be mistaken as dessert.
(Ok fine, I have a lot of favorite things, but this certainly is up there.)
Oh my worrrrrd, these Raspberry Oat Crumble Bars, you guys. They’re pure heaven!
Sweet Treat or Wholesome Breakfast?
What I love most about these Raspberry Oat Crumble Bars is that they’re perfectly chewy, perfectly sweet, and the perfect amount of something delicious. Whether I’m out the door and on-the-go (literally every day), or looking for a quick mid-afternoon pick me up, these bars are what I crave.
The delectable crumble starts with just three humble ingredients: oats, sunflower nuts, and salt! So really, can we just call it two ingredients?!
Next up, we have coconut oil, maple syrup, cashew butter, (or whatever nut or seed butter you prefer!), and a little bit of brown rice syrup to bind everything together.
Are we drooling yet?
The Filling
The beauty of these bars is that they are completely and totally adaptable to your taste. Illustrated by the fact that raspberry is just one of countless store bought or homemade jam flavors one could choose from. Think about it….
- Homemade Nectarine Vanilla
- Homemade Blueberry Cardamom
- Store-bought Strawberry
- Store-bought lemon Curd (I’ve never tried, but please report back if you do!)
That jammy goodness sandwiched in between two crumbly-oat layers…
But are there even words?
Didn’t think so.

Raspberry Oat Crumble Bars
Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups Raspberry jam, homemade or store bought
- 1 cup sunflower seeds
- 3 cups gluten free rolled oats
- 1/4 + 1/8 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup Coconut Oil
- 1/8 cup pure maple syrup
- 3 Tbsp brown rice syrup
- 1 Tbsp Cashew Butter or favorite nut or seed butter
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line an 8 inch square pan with parchment paper, allowing some to hang over the sides (allow you to pull the bars out easily!).
- Combine sunflower seeds, oats, and salt in a food processor and pulse until mixture resembles a coarse flour.
- In a small pot, melt coconut oil. Remove from heat and mix in maple syrup, brown rice syrup, and cashew butter. Pour wet mixture over oat mixture in the food processor and pulse until combined, about 15 seconds. Mixture should be wet and oily.
- Set aside about 1 1/4 cups of the mixture for the topping, and add remaining to prepared pan. Press mixture evenly over the bottom of the pan, using a measuring cup or glass with a flat surface if desired.
- Parbake the crust for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly. Spread jam in an even layer, and top with remaining oat mixture.
- Bake uncovered for about 15 minutes, until topping is slightly firm. Remove from oven and allow to cool before placing in freezer for about 30 minutes. Lift out of pan using the parchment handles, slice in to bars, and store in an airtight container. They keep in the refrigerator or several days, and can be frozen up to 5 weeks! Life is sweet.
Any idea how many calories are in one bar?
Hi Robi! If sliced into 16 bars, it’s 275 calories. I used the app My Fitness Pal to copy the link of the recipe in to the app, which will calculate it for you! I hope this helps. Enjoy!
