Instructions

• Warm the fruit preserves and water in a saucepan over medium-low heat while you prepare the dough.
• Combine the flours, 2 tsp flaxseed, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt in a small bowl.
• Combine the coconut oil, honey, eggs and vanilla extract in a large bowl and beat for 30 seconds on medium-high until creamy.
• Slowly incorporate the dry ingredients beating until well combined, about 1 minute.
• Divide the dough into two parts and shape into balls. Place each ball on a piece of plastic wrap and flatten into a disc. Wrap tightly and chill in the refrigerator for 20 minutes.
• Remove the fruit preserves from the stove and cool to room temperature.
• Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Remove one disc from the fridge and place it on a piece of parchment paper. Place another piece of parchment over the disc, then roll it with a rolling pin in both directions until you’ve reached a ¼ inch thickness.
• Using a pizza cutter, cut the circle into a large square, then into smaller rectangles about 4in x 2in.
• Spread 2 tablespoons of the fruit preserves on each rectangle, leaving a ½ inch border.
• Remove the other disc from the fridge and repeat steps 8 and 9.
• Use a spatula to carefully lift each rectangle of dough and place it on top of the rectangles with the fruit on them.
• Dip your fingers in a little water and gently seal the bars on all sides by pressing the two rectangles together on the edges.
• Transfer the parchment paper with the bars onto a baking sheet and bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 12 minutes.
