Take your cobbler to-go!
I created these to compliment the Deep-Dish Cookie Pie at our Memorial Day party.
Put in charge of dessert, I figured people wouldn’t want two chocolate selections. (Silly people. Don’t they realize two chocolate desserts are better than one?)
Thanks to their portability, these bars make really good breakfast bars, too.
Raspberry Cobbler Bars
(makes 8-14 bars)
- 1.5 cups spelt flour or oat flour (to make oat flour, you can grind oats in a food processor)
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup applesauce (see notes, below)
- 1 and 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/3 cup brown sugar (see notes, below)
- 2 cups (8oz) fresh or frozen berries
- 2 T maple syrup or agave
- 2 tsp cornstarch
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
Stir together the first six ingredients. Scoop half of the dough into a small, oiled glass dish (or any small pan). In a separate bowl, stir together the other ingredients. Layer them into the pan, then top with the rest of the dough from the first pan. Bake for 35 minutes at 350F, then cool before cutting.
See the following page for the Calorie Information.
Fat and Sugar Notes:
These bars are fat-free. If you’re not a fan of fat-free baked goods (or just want a deeper, more buttery taste), I recommend replacing some or all of the applesauce with margarine or shortening. As for sugar, the subtly-sweet bars have the perfect sweetness if you’re eating them for breakfast, if you’re planning to top them with vegan ice cream or whipped cream, or if you don’t have much of a sweet tooth. If, however, you’re looking for more of a dessert-like (super-sweet) bar, you can increase the sugar to 1/2 cup and double the maple syrup. (Of course, you can also use stevia if you wish.) Personally, I really like these without any added sugar (except the maple syrup), and with coconut butter in place of half the applesauce. But try that version at your own risk!
Question of the Day:
What are your favorite snacks that don’t have chocolate?
Peanut butter? Pumpkin? Currently, I love Snickerdoodle Dip.
My favorite non-chocolate desserts usually include either coconut butter or a carrot-cake theme. But honestly? Most of my favorite desserts have chocolate! (Ooh, just thought of something: You can add chocolate chips to these bars!)
I made these with frozen blackberries since I didn’t have raspberries, and it was so tasty! great recipe!
I’m so excited you made them… and that they turned out well! 🙂
I used a bigger pan so I added another cup of blackberries, it made them super thick and filling! They didn’t last too long through….=]
Extra filling sounds like it could never be a bad thing! 😉
Yum! I’m going to go and make these with chia seeds 🙂
Do you make your oat flower w/a certain kind of oat or do you use rolled oats?
You can do either. I’ve done it both ways. (If I’m making my own, I make sure to pulverize it for a looooong time so it’s finely-ground as opposed to having big pieces of oat… unless, as in my flourless chocolate-chip cookie recipe, I actually WANT big pieces of oat.)
I had some plums that were about to go bad so I made these today! I used about half the brown sugar and they came out soooooo good!! I REALLY think the fruit paired with the cinnamon is plenty sweet for me! Soooo, next time I am going to make these without any added sugar! YUMMM! Thanks for the great recipe!
hello, just found your blog – where has it been, i love the recipes on it! just wondering if you know the nutritional info for these bars? thanks x
I think I shall be making apple pie cobbler bars today. 🙂
I mite sound like a dunce here but.. (wince) what is the T of maple syrup? Sorry I’ve only woken up and I’m new to the website.. but so far it’s brilliant!!!
Hey! These look great. Do you think this would work with an apple filling? Like using diced apples instead of the frozen berries? Also, what size pan did you use? Thanks!

Can I make this with all purpose flour? Looks great!
Sure.
Dear Katie,
I made your blueberry muffin recipe and it was a big hit with me and my family! I was wondering if you could help me out with the Raspberry Cobbler Bars recipe. I’m looking for the nutritional info, particularly how much fibre. If you have time (yeah right, who does lol) and if you know, could you please let me know or direct me to the nutritional info? Thank you so much, Corinne
Katie posts nutrition facts for all her recipes as of 2012. Sadly it looks like this is an older recipe. But all future recipes, she says, will have nutrition facts and WW points.
