Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Rolled oats
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 1/2 cup Coconut oil
- 1/2 cup Maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 1.5 cups Fresh blueberries
- 1 tablespoon Chia seeds
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8 inch baking dish with parchment paper.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the fresh blueberries, chia seeds, and lemon juice. Cook while stirring frequently for about 10 minutes, or until the mixture starts to thicken. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, almond flour, and salt. Mix well.
Melt the coconut oil in a small saucepan over low heat or microwave in a microwave-safe dish until it's liquid.
Pour the melted coconut oil, maple syrup, and vanilla extract into the oat and almond mixture. Stir until everything is well combined and the mixture is crumbly but sticks together when pressed.
Reserve about 3/4 cup of the oat mixture for later use as topping.
Press the remaining mixture firmly into the prepared baking dish to form a solid base.
Spread the blueberry chia mixture evenly over the oat base.
Sprinkle the reserved oat mixture over the blueberry layer, pressing down gently.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely in the pan before lifting out and slicing into bars.
Store bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the fridge for up to a week.
