Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups blueberries (I used frozen)
- 1 1/2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
- 1 cup oat flour
- 1 cup old-fashioned oats
- 2 tablespoons coconut sugar (or brown sugar)
- 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoons salt
- 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1/2 cups unsweetened applesauce
- 1/4 cups pure maple syrup
- 1/4 cups coconut oil (melted)
Make It
INSTRUCTIONS
- Preheat oven to 325F. Grease an 8x8in baking dish with coconut oil or cooking spray.
- Heat a small saucepan over medium heat. Add blueberries, chia seeds and maple syrup. Cook for about 10 minutes, stirring often. Use a potato masher to smash blueberries for the “jam” layer. Set aside.
- Combine oats, oat flour, sugar, cinnamon salt, and baking soda in a large bowl.
- Add applesauce, maple syrup and coconut oil, stirring to combine.
- Set aside a heaping half cup of the oat mixture and then spoon the rest evenly into the prepared pan. Top with blueberry chia jam, spreading evenly with a spoon or spatula.
- Drop the rest of the oat mixture on top.
- Bake for 30 minutes. Cool completely on a wire rack before cutting into 12 bars.
- Store in the refrigerator.
