Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup quick cooking oats
- 1 cup oat flour
- 2 Tbsp brown sugar
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp salt
Wet Ingredients
- 3 eggs
- 1/2 cup almond milk
- 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted and cooled slightly
- 1/3 cup honey
- 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Add-ins
- 1 cup blueberries
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for baking the bars evenly.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the quick cooking oats, oat flour, brown sugar, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Stir them together until thoroughly blended.
- Combine wet ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, almond milk, melted coconut oil, honey, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
- Combine ingredients: Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Mix gently until just combined to avoid overmixing. Then carefully fold in the blueberries to distribute them evenly without breaking them.
- Bake: Transfer the batter into a greased or lined baking dish, spreading it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool and slice: Let the bars cool in the baking dish for about 5 minutes, then transfer them onto a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, slice into bars and serve.
Notes
- Ensure the coconut oil is melted but not hot to prevent cooking the eggs when mixed.
- Use fresh or frozen blueberries; if using frozen, do not thaw to prevent excess moisture.
- Store bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
- For added crunch, consider sprinkling some chopped nuts on top before baking.
- These bars can be frozen for up to 2 months; thaw before serving.
