Description

A healthy and easy recipe for Blueberry Oat Bars, perfect for snacking.


Ingredients

  • 2 cups rolled oats
  • 1 cup mashed ripe bananas (about 2 medium bananas)
  • 1/2 cup almond butter (or any nut butter of your choice)
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, mashed bananas, almond butter, maple syrup, vanilla extract, baking powder, and salt. Mix until well combined.
  3. Gently fold in the blueberries, being careful not to crush them.
  4. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly.
  5. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is set.
  6. Allow the bars to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then lift them out using the parchment paper and let them cool completely on a wire rack.
  7. Once cooled, cut into squares or bars and enjoy!

Notes

  • For a sweeter bar, add 1/4 cup of brown sugar or coconut sugar to the mixture.
  • You can substitute the blueberries with other fruits like raspberries or chopped apples for a different flavor.
  • For added texture, consider mixing in 1/4 cup of chopped nuts or seeds.
