Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup nut butter (almond or peanut)
  • 1/3 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups rolled oats
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds or flaxseeds (optional)
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Wet Ingredients: Start by combining the nut butter, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir gently until the mixture becomes smooth and easily pourable, then remove from heat.
  2. Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine rolled oats, fresh blueberries, chia or flaxseeds (if using), and a pinch of salt. Gently toss these ingredients to distribute them evenly.
  3. Combine Wet and Dry: Pour the warmed nut butter mixture over the oat mixture and stir carefully to coat everything without crushing the blueberries too much, ensuring a sticky but chunky consistency.
  4. Press into Pan: Line a square baking dish with parchment paper. Transfer the mixture into the dish and press firmly with a spatula or your hands to create an even, compact layer.
  5. Chill and Set: Place the dish in the refrigerator for at least two hours or until the bars are firm enough to cut into squares. This chilling step is essential to help the bars hold together when eaten.

Notes

  • Use fresh blueberries for the best flavor and moisture balance.
  • Press the mixture firmly into the pan to prevent crumbling after chilling.
  • Adjust sweetness by tasting the wet mix before combining and adding more honey if desired.
  • Wrap bars individually in parchment paper for easy storage and grab-and-go snacking.
  • If adding chocolate chips or nuts, fold them in gently at the end to avoid breakage or melting.
