Slightly buttery and crunchy with great oat flavor. Apricots and the slightly citrusy and peppery ginger are meant to be together! These bars are a great way to transform fruits and oats into something every kid, big and small, will devour!
Ingredients
Apricot Ginger Filling
- 1/3 cup white sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 cups pitted and diced apricots
- 1 tablespoon diced fresh ginger
Crust
- 1 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour
- ½ cup almond meal
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup gluten-free rolled oats
- ½ cup packed light brown sugar
- ½ cup white sugar
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon almond extract (Optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease an 8-inch baking dish and line with parchment paper; grease parchment paper.
Step 2
Whisk flour, almond meal, baking soda, and salt together in a bowl. Add oats, brown sugar, and 1/2 cup white sugar; whisk to blend and break up clumps of brown sugar. Pour melted butter, vanilla extract, and almond extract over flour mixture; stir with a spatula until moistened.
Step 3
Press 2/3 of the flour mixture into the bottom of the prepared baking dish to make the crust.
Step 4
Whisk 1/3 cup white sugar and cornstarch together in a small bowl. Add apricots and ginger and toss to coat.
Step 5
Spread apricot mixture over the crust. Sprinkle remaining 1/3 of the flour mixture on top.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven until top is golden brown and crisp and filling is bubbling, 35 to 40 minutes. Cool completely before cutting into bars, about 25 minutes.
