Directions
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly spray an 8-inch square baking dish with cooking spray.
-
In a medium bowl, stir together the oatmeal, flour, sugar, cardamom, nutmeg, and baking soda.
-
In a small bowl, using a fork, lightly beat the egg whites. Stir in the oil and 2 tbsp fresh orange juice.
-
Add the egg white mixture to the oatmeal mixture, stirring until the combined mixture holds together. Press three-fourths of the mixture into the baking dish.
-
In a medium bowl, whisk together the fruit butter and 2 tsp of the orange zest. Using a rubber scraper, spread the fruit butter mixture over the oatmeal mixture. Sprinkle with the remaining oatmeal mixture.
-
Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown. Transfer the dish to a cooling rack and let cool completely, then cut into 24 equal bars.
