I baked this Vegan Apricot Bars for my friend’s dinner party last weekend. The apricot stayed bright and jammy, and my sister liked them.
Delicious Vegan Apricot Bars
These apricot bars feature a rich, buttery base made with plant-based ingredients and are filled with a sweet apricot jam. The recipe is easy to follow and takes about 45 minutes from start to finish, making it perfect for bakers of all skill levels.

- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder

Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch square baking dish.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt until well blended.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in the melted coconut oil and maple syrup. Mix until a crumbly dough forms.
- Press the Base: Press about two-thirds of the dough mixture into the bottom of the prepared baking dish to create the crust layer.
- Spread Apricot Jam: Evenly spread the apricot jam over the pressed dough layer to create a filling.
- Top with Crumble: Crumble the remaining dough on top of the jam layer to create a topping.

I store the bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to four days. The stay buttery, and I let them come to room temperature before serving.
