Ingredients

• 2 cups Gluten-free rolled oats
• 1 cup Almond flour
• 1 cup Brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Coconut oil
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1.5 cups Fresh blueberries
• 2 teaspoons Cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons Honey

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides for easy removal.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine the gluten-free rolled oats, almond flour, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir well to ensure the ingredients are evenly mixed.

Step 3

Melt the coconut oil in a small saucepan or microwave. Add the vanilla extract to the melted coconut oil and stir.

Step 4

Pour the coconut oil and vanilla mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir until all the dry ingredients are moistened and the mixture forms a crumbly texture.

Step 5

Set aside 1/2 cup of the oat mixture for the topping. Press the remaining oat mixture evenly into the prepared baking pan to form the base.

Step 6

In a medium bowl, combine the fresh blueberries, cornstarch, lemon juice, and honey. Toss until the blueberries are well coated.

Step 7

Spread the blueberry mixture evenly over the oat base in the baking pan.

Step 8

Sprinkle the reserved oat mixture over the top of the blueberries, pressing it gently into place.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and allow the bars to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.

Step 11

Once cooled, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the bars out of the pan. Cut into 12 squares and serve.

Step 12

Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days.
