Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Baking pan
  • conventional oven

Ingredients

Measurement details: 1 cup = 240ml; 1 tbsp = 15ml; 1tsp = 5ml;

For the filling

  • 1 cup cherries pitted and cut into half (approx 200 grams)
  • 1 mango peeled, deseeded, and chopped (approx 100 grams)
  • 1 tbsp corn starch
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp sugar I used raw granulated sugar

For the crumb

  • 1.75 cup old fashioned rolled oats divided

  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • ½ cup coconut oil I use melted one, plus 1 tsp for greasing the pan
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ¼ tsp salt

Instructions

Prep-Work:

  • Preheat the oven at 375 deg F and line a baking tray with parchment paper. I used my square 8-inch baking pan. Grease the sides and bottom with coconut oil and set it aside.

Prepare the oats flour.

  • Add 1.5 cups old-fashioned rolled oats in a mixer jar or blender grind it into a powder. We need 1.5 cups of oat flour, so use rolled oats as needed.

Prepare the filling.

  • Add the chopped cherries, mangoes, corn starch, sugar, and lemon juice to a mixing bowl. Mix well and set it aside.

  • Bake it at 375 deg F for 25 minutes or until the top is golden. Remove it from the oven and let it cool completely before slicing. I cut it into 9 square bars.

Notes

  • If using store-bought oats flour, you can use 1.5 cups for the crumb layer.
  • Instead of brown sugar, you can add granulated sugar as well. 
  • Do not use instant or quick oats for making the flour.
  • Instead of vanilla essence, you can use other flavorings of your choice.
  • You can use mixed berries instead of cherries and mangoes. Also, if using frozen fruits, thaw them to room temperature before using them.
