Ingredients
- 2 cups Old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup Whole wheat flour
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 0.25 cup Honey
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Fresh or frozen blueberries
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 1 large Egg
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving a bit of overhang for easy removal.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the oats, whole wheat flour, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir until well mixed.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, whisk together the unsweetened applesauce, honey, vanilla extract, and the egg until combined.
Step 4
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until the ingredients are well incorporated. The mixture should be thick and sticky.
Step 5
Fold in the blueberries and lemon zest gently to ensure even distribution without crushing the blueberries too much.
Step 6
Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until the top is lightly golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 8
Allow the bars to cool in the pan for 10–15 minutes, then use the parchment paper overhang to lift them out and place on a wire rack to cool completely before cutting into squares.
Step 9
Cut into 12 bars and serve. Enjoy these low fat blueberry oatmeal bars as a healthy snack or breakfast option!
