Description

Jessica's Pistachio Oat Squares are a wholesome, lightly sweetened snack combining crunchy pistachios, hearty oats, and toasted coconut. These squares are perfect for a nutritious breakfast or an energy-boosting snack, featuring natural sweetness from maple syrup and a subtle olive oil richness. Baked to golden perfection, they offer a soft, crumbly texture with a delightful nutty coconut topping.

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup raw shelled pistachios
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • ⅓ cup unsweetened coconut flakes
  • Additional handful of chopped pistachios for topping

Wet Ingredients

  • ¼ cup maple syrup, plus more for drizzling on top
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, allowing the paper to overhang the sides for easy removal later.
  2. Process Ingredients: In a food processor fitted with the S blade, combine the pistachios, rolled oats, and sea salt. Pulse for about 30 seconds until the mixture starts to form a coarse meal.
  3. Add Wet Ingredients: With the food processor running, slowly drizzle in the maple syrup and olive oil. Continue processing until the mixture comes together into a crumbly, slightly moist dough.
  4. Assemble in Pan: Press the dough evenly into the prepared pan, smoothing the surface. Sprinkle the unsweetened coconut flakes and the chopped pistachios evenly over the top, gently pressing them into the dough.
  5. Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until the coconut turns golden brown and the dough is cooked through but still a bit soft to the touch. Avoid overbaking to keep the squares tender.
  6. Cool and Cut: Remove from the oven and let it cool completely in the pan. Then, lift the parchment paper to remove the baked slab and cut it into 12 squares using a sharp knife.
  7. Optional Maple Drizzle and Storage: Drizzle additional maple syrup over the squares for extra sweetness if desired. Store the squares in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.

Notes

  • Use raw shelled pistachios for the best texture and flavor.
  • Rolled oats provide a chewy texture; quick oats may make the texture too soft.
  • Do not overbake, as the squares should remain soft inside.
  • These squares make a great grab-and-go breakfast or snack.
  • They can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
