Skinny Raspberry Oatmeal Bars Ingredients:

• 2 cups old-fashioned oats
• 1 ½ cups whole wheat flour (reduce the amount of flour for fewer points)
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 4 tablespoons light butter (or substitute with 3 tbsp non-fat Greek yogurt)
• ½ tsp salt
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• ¼ cup sugar substitute (or a bit less, depending on your sweetness preference)

Filling:

• 4 cups raspberries (fresh or frozen)
• ¼ cup sugar substitute
• 2 tsp lemon juice
• ¼ cup corn starch

Directions:

• Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease or line a 9×13-inch baking dish with parchment paper.
• In a bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, oats, cinnamon, butter (or yogurt), salt, vanilla extract, and sugar substitute. Use a mixer to combine on low for 1 minute, then scrape down the sides of the bowl and mix on medium for 2 minutes.
• Take about 2/3 of the oat mixture and spread it evenly into the prepared baking dish, pressing it down to form a crust.
• Set the remaining oat mixture aside for the topping.
• To make the filling, combine the raspberries, sugar substitute, lemon juice, and corn starch in a separate bowl. Stir until the mixture is uniform and smooth.
• Spread the raspberry filling evenly over the oat crust.
• Sprinkle the remaining oat mixture over the filling as the topping.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until golden brown.
• Let the bars cool before cutting into squares. Enjoy!
