Servings: 8 bars
Ingredients
- 1 c whole wheat flour
- 3/4 c whole rolled oats
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 6 tbsp cold butter grated or cut into small pieces
- 2 egg yolks
- 2 tbsp vanilla yogurt
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- 2 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 c berry jam of choice or as needed
Instructions
Preheat the oven.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Position the oven rack in the middle of the oven.
Prepare the dry ingredients.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, rolled oats, and salt. Stir until evenly mixed.
Add the butter.
- Add the cold grated butter or small butter pieces to the flour mixture.
Work in the butter.
- Using your fingers, toss and rub the butter into the flour and oat mixture until the butter is coated and broken down into small pieces, similar to preparing pie dough.
Add the wet ingredients.
- Add the egg yolks, vanilla yogurt, maple syrup, and vanilla extract to the bowl.
Form the dough.
- Mix with your hands or a wooden spoon until the dough comes together and is evenly combined.
Roll the dough.
- Transfer the dough to a clean, lightly floured work surface. Roll the dough to approximately 1/8-inch thickness.
Cut the dough.
- Cut the dough into rectangles measuring approximately 4 inches by 5 inches.
Add the filling.
- Spoon heaping tablespoons of berry jam into the center of each dough rectangle. Spread the jam slightly, leaving approximately a 1/3-inch border around the edges.
Seal the bars.
- Fold the dough over the jam and seal the edges firmly with a fork or with your fingers. Ensure there are no large openings.
Transfer to a baking sheet.
- Place the filled and sealed bars on a baking sheet.
Bake.
- Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the tops and edges are lightly golden brown. A small amount of jam may seep out during baking.
Cool.
- Allow the bars to cool completely before eating or transferring to storage.
Notes
To make this Nutrigrain Bar Recipe gluten free, replace the whole wheat flour with a gluten-free 1:1 baking flour blend. Use certified gluten-free rolled oats, as oats may be cross-contaminated with wheat during processing. Verify that the vanilla yogurt, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and berry jam are labeled gluten free. Use clean utensils, bowls, rolling surfaces, and baking sheets to prevent cross-contact with gluten-containing ingredients.
