Ingredients

• 2 cups Old-fashioned rolled oats
• 1 cup Whole wheat flour
• 0.75 cup Unsweetened applesauce
• 0.5 cup Melted coconut oil
• 1.5 cups Fresh or frozen blueberries
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Chopped walnuts (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8 inch baking dish with parchment paper, allowing some paper to hang over the edges for easy removal.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, whole wheat flour, ground cinnamon, baking soda, and salt. Stir until well mixed.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, mix together the unsweetened applesauce, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until smooth and combined.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients bowl and stir until a crumbly dough forms.

Step 5

Reserve 3/4 cup of the oat mixture and set aside for the topping. Press the remaining mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish to form the base layer.

Step 6

Distribute the blueberries evenly over the pressed oat base.

Step 7

Sprinkle the reserved oat mixture on top of the blueberries, adding chopped walnuts across the top for added flavor and texture, if using.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the blueberries are bubbly.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan on a wire rack for at least 15 minutes before lifting the bars out using the parchment overhang.

Step 10

Once cooled, cut the large bar into 12 equal pieces. Serve and enjoy!
