Vegan, Gluten-Free
Makes 10 small squares
Â
Ingredients
¼ Cup melted coconut oil
3 Tablespoons coconut sugar
2 Tablespoons maple syrup
½ Teaspoon vanilla extract
¾ Cup gluten-free whole grain oat flour
¾ Cup gluten-free quick oats
½ Teaspoon ground cardamom
¼ Teaspoon of sea salt
1 225ml Jar St Dalfour Red Raspberry Deluxe Spread
Â
Directions
1. Preheat the oven to 350℉ and line a 9x5 loaf pan with parchment paper.
2. In a bowl, whisk the coconut oil, coconut sugar, maple syrup, and vanilla extract together. Fold in the flour, oats, cardamom, and salt and stir until well combined and crumbly.
3. Reserve ½ cup of the mixture for the topping. Using your fingers, press the remaining mixture into the bottom of the prepared baking pan. Spread the raspberry jam evenly over the crust mixture, and then sprinkle with the rest of the crumb mixture that was set aside. Gently push the crumb topping into the jam just slightly with a spatula.
4. Bake for 30 minutes, until the jam is bubbly and the top is golden brown. Allow the bars to cool completely before slicing into squares. Cooled at room temperature, the bars will be softer and more like a cobbler, if set in the fridge, they will be more firm. Store in an airtight in a container on the counter for up to 4 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

TIP OF THE WEEK
Good mental health is important to your overall health. And since it’s Mental Health Week in Canada, we wanted to share some things that you can do to give your mood a boost:
- Identify how you are feeling. It can be hard to admit to yourself that you aren’t feeling okay, but identifying how you are feeling is the first step to feeling better. Write in a journal or reach out to a friend or family member you can trust.
- Focus on your own self care. Self care looks different for everyone; find ways that help you relax, rewind, and destress. Perhaps it's taking a hot bath, going for a walk, doing some yoga, taking some time to meditate, or unplugging from social media.
- Eat a healthy diet and incorporate foods that can help to boost your overall mood, such as bananas, berries, walnuts, salmon, and dark chocolate.
- Reduce the amount of alcoholic beverages and caffeine you intake, as they could be having negative effects on your mental health.
- Spend time outside in the sun. Vitamin D can help to improve and regulate your mood.
Most importantly, if you aren’t feeling okay speak with your health care practitioner or seek mental health resources in your community who can help you.
