How to Make Blueberry Oat Bars

PIN IT

Step 1: Prep the Pan

Line an 8×8-inch pan with parchment paper, leaving a little overhang for easy lifting later.

Step 2: Mix the Dry Ingredients

In a large bowl, combine oats, almond flour, and sea salt. Give it a quick stir.

Step 3: Add the Wet Ingredients

Add almond butter, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, and vanilla. Mix until sticky and well combined.

Step 4: Fold in Blueberries

Gently fold in the blueberries. If using frozen, don’t thaw—they’ll streak beautifully through the bars.

Step 5: Press & Chill

Press the mixture firmly into the prepared pan. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, until set.

Slice into bars and enjoy that homemade-snack victory moment.
