Ingredients:

• 1 ½ cups rolled oats
• ¾ cup almond flour (or whole wheat flour)
• ¼ cup coconut oil or butter, melted
• 3 tbsp maple syrup or honey
• ½ tsp cinnamon
• Pinch of salt

• 1 cup freeze-dried peaches, crushed into small chunks
• 2 tbsp water
• 1 tbsp chia seeds (helps bind the filling)

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a loaf pan or 8x8 pan with parchment.
2. In a bowl, mix oats, almond flour, cinnamon, and salt. Stir in melted oil and maple syrup to form a crumbly dough.
3. Press ⅔ of the dough into the bottom of the pan to form a crust.
4. In a small bowl, mix crushed freeze-dried peaches, water, chia seeds, and honey if using. Let sit 5 minutes.
5. Spread the peach mixture over the crust.
6. Crumble the remaining dough on top.
