Ingredients

• 2 cups rolled oats
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup almond flour
• 0.75 cup brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup refined coconut oil
• 0.25 cup almond milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
• 2 tablespoons maple syrup
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large bowl, mix together the rolled oats, all-purpose flour, almond flour, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, melt the coconut oil if it is solid. Then mix in the almond milk and vanilla extract.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until well combined. The mixture should be crumbly yet able to hold together when pressed.

Step 5

Press about two-thirds of the oat mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan to create the crust.

Step 6

In another bowl, gently toss together the blueberries, maple syrup, cornstarch, and lemon juice until the blueberries are well coated.

Step 7

Spread the blueberry mixture evenly over the crust in the pan.

Step 8

Sprinkle the remaining oat mixture on top of the blueberry layer, pressing it down slightly.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 40 to 45 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the blueberries are bubbling.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for at least 30 minutes. For best results, let them cool completely in the fridge before cutting into bars.

Step 11

Use the overhanging parchment paper to lift the bars from the pan and transfer to a cutting board. Slice into 12 squares.

Step 12

Enjoy your delicious and healthy Vegan Blueberry Oat Bars!
