Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups rolled oats
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup almond butter
  • 1/3 cup maple syrup (natural)

Blueberry Mixture

  • 1 1/4 cups fresh blueberries
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds (natural gelling agent)
  • 1 teaspoon maple syrup (natural)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Blueberry Mixture: Gently warm fresh blueberries in a saucepan over low heat, stirring occasionally until they soften and release their juices. Stir in 1 teaspoon of maple syrup (natural) and 1 tablespoon of chia seeds (natural gelling agent) to thicken the blueberry base.
  2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, add rolled oats, a pinch of salt, and vanilla extract (natural). Stir to distribute the flavors evenly and prepare the base for the bars.
  3. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a small bowl, blend almond butter and maple syrup (natural) until smooth and creamy, forming the binder for the bars.
  4. Bring it All Together: Pour the almond butter mixture into the oats and vanilla blend, stirring until evenly coated. Add the blueberry mixture and fold gently to distribute the fruit without crushing it completely, aiming for a moist but firm mixture.
  5. Set the Bars: Transfer the mixture into a square dish lined with parchment paper, pressing firmly to compact the ingredients. Refrigerate for at least two hours until firm enough to slice.
  6. Slice and Enjoy: Once chilled, lift the mixture from the dish using the parchment paper and slice into bars of your preferred size. Enjoy immediately or store for later.

Notes

  • Press firmly when transferring mixture to the dish to ensure bars hold together well.
  • Chill the mixture thoroughly for at least two hours to allow the natural gelling agent to activate fully.
  • Using fresh blueberries will provide a better flavor and texture than frozen.
  • Adjust the sweetness by tasting the mixture before setting and adding extra maple syrup (natural) if needed.
  • Store bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator to keep them fresh and chewy for up to five days.
