Peaches are not just a summer staple; they are also packed with nutrients that make them a fantastic choice for any recipe. Rich in vitamins A and C, peaches are essential for maintaining healthy skin and a robust immune system. Vitamin A supports vision and skin health, while vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that helps in collagen production, keeping your skin youthful and vibrant. Additionally, peaches are high in dietary fiber. This not only aids digestion but also helps to regulate blood sugar levels, making them a smart choice for those looking to maintain healthy eating habits.

Ingredients
  

1 cup rolled oats

1 cup almond flour (or whole wheat flour)

1/2 cup brown sugar (packed)

1/4 cup coconut oil (melted) or unsalted butter

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 cups fresh peaches, diced (about 2 medium peaches)

1 cup fresh raspberries

1 tablespoon cornstarch

2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (optional, for added sweetness)

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line an 8x8 inch square baking dish with parchment paper for easy removal.

    Make the Oat Crust: In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, almond flour, brown sugar, coconut oil, salt, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon. Mix until the ingredients are well incorporated and crumbly.

      Press the Crust: Reserve about 1/2 cup of the oat mixture to create the topping. Press the remaining mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish to form the crust. Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes.

        Prepare the Fruit Filling: While the crust is baking, in a medium bowl, combine the diced peaches, raspberries, cornstarch, and optional honey or maple syrup. Gently toss until the fruit is coated evenly with the cornstarch.

          Assemble the Squares: After the crust has baked for 10 minutes, remove it from the oven. Spread the peach and raspberry mixture over the crust in an even layer. Sprinkle the reserved oat mixture on top of the fruit, creating a crumbly topping.

            Bake the Squares: Return the assembled dish to the oven and bake for an additional 25-30 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the fruit is bubbling.

              Cool and Slice: Once done, remove from the oven and allow to cool in the baking dish for at least 15 minutes. Use the parchment paper to lift the squares out of the dish and allow them to cool completely on a wire rack before slicing into squares.

                Serve: Enjoy these delightful oat squares warm or at room temperature. They can be served as a breakfast treat or a healthy dessert. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
