Ingredients
For the Bars:
  • 2 cups quick oats
  • 3 x 30 gram scoops (3/4 cup) whey protein, vanilla (If you'd like to omit protein, just add an extra ⅔ cup - ¾ cup oats)
  • ⅓ cup stevia baking formula (or 12-13 packets)
  • ½ cup peanut butter
  • ¼ cup unsweetened coconut
  • ½ cup water (may need an extra 1 Tbsp)
For the Topping:
  • ¾ cup blueberries (I used frozen)
  • ¾ cup raspberries (I used frozen)
  • 6 packets of stevia
  • pinch cinnamon
  • ½ tsp - 1 tsp cornstarch (mix with 1-2 Tbsp water for no-bake version. For bake version, just coat the berries with the cornstarch)
Instructions
For the No-Bake version
  1. Mix together all the ingredients in the bars, and press into a greased (or sprayed) 9x9 pan.
  2. On the stove over medium heat, combine all the topping ingredients and simmer together until thickened (add extra cornstarch until its fairly thick).
  3. Pour the topping over the base and place in the fridge until set and cooled.
  4. Cut into 12 squares. Keep covered in the fridge.
For the Baked version
  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Mix together all the ingredients in the bars and press into a greased (or sprayed) 9x9 oven proof pan.
  3. The next step you could do 2 ways. 1) Sprinkle the topping over the base and bake. After 10 minutes you'll need to place your oven on broil "HIGH" for an additional 10 minutes until the berries reduce down and thicken.
  4. OR 2) On the stove over medium heat, combine all the topping ingredients and simmer together until thickened (add extra cornstarch until its fairly thick).
  5. Pour the topping over the base and place in the oven for 10-12 minutes.
  6. Cool and cut into 12 squares. Store in sealed container in the fridge.
