Ingredients
  

Blueberry Filling
  • 1 heaping cup blueberries fresh or frozen
  • 0.25 cup water
Oat Base
  • 0.33 cup peanut butter natural, unsweetened
  • 0.33 cup maple syrup
  • 2 tbsp coconut oil
  • 1 cup rolled oats old-fashioned oats for texture
  • 1 cup oat flour can make by blending rolled oats

Equipment

  • 8×4-inch loaf pan
  • Parchment paper
  • Mixing bowl
  • Skillet
  • Spoon

Method
 

  1. Line an 8×4-inch loaf pan with parchment paper (leave overhang for easy removal) or grease lightly with cooking spray.
  2. In a medium skillet, add blueberries and water. Simmer over medium heat for about 7 minutes, gently pressing down on half of the berries to release juices. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, stir together peanut butter, maple syrup, coconut oil, rolled oats, and oat flour until combined. The mixture should stick together when pressed.
  4. Spread ⅔ of the oat mixture evenly into the prepared loaf pan and press firmly.
  5. Spoon the blueberry mixture on top, spreading evenly but leaving a slight border around the edges.
  6. Crumble the remaining oat mixture over the blueberries and press lightly.
  7. Place the pan in the fridge for at least 2 hours (or overnight) until set. Slice into bars and enjoy!
