How to Make Apricot Oat Bars Wheat Free

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
  2. Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan with 1/4 cup (55g) milk-free margarine (or butter).
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups (180g) oat flour, ½ cup (60g) potato starch, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  4. Stir in 1 cup (200g) packed brown sugar, 1 cup (80g) rolled oats, and ½ cup (60g) chopped almonds.
  5. Add the melted margarine from step 2 and mix until well combined.
  6. Press ⅔ of the oat mixture into the prepared pan.
  7. Spread 1 cup (240g) apricot jam evenly over the oat base, leaving about ½ inch border around the edges.
  8. Sprinkle the remaining oat mixture over the jam, pressing down firmly to create a compact layer.
  9. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until golden brown and set.
  10. Let cool completely in the pan before cutting into bars.
