So, roll up your sleeves and let’s dive into this easy recipe that promises to become a family favorite!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups Certified Gluten-Free Old Fashioned Oats
  • 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 cup Unsweetened Almond Milk
  • 1 large Mashed Banana
  • 1/4 cup Honey
  • 1/4 cup Coconut Oil (Melted)
  • 1 Egg
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 1 cup Blueberries (Fresh)

Instructions

  1. Start by whisking together your wet ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Combine the unsweetened almond milk, mashed banana, honey, melted coconut oil, egg, and vanilla extract. Mix until all the ingredients are well blended and creamy, about 3-5 minutes.
  2. Next, it’s time to create your oat flour. If you’re using certified gluten-free old-fashioned oats, place them in a food processor and pulse until they reach a fine flour-like consistency.
  3. Add the oat flour along with the whole oats, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt to your wet ingredients. Stir everything together until fully combined.
  4. Gently fold in the fresh blueberries, taking care not to mash them.
  5. Pour the batter into an 8×8 inch baking pan that you’ve lightly sprayed with nonstick cooking spray.
  6. Bake in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 35-40 minutes.
  7. Once baked, remove your pan from the oven and allow it to cool on a wire rack for at least 10 minutes.

Notes

  • Use Fresh Ingredients: Always opt for fresh blueberries and ripe bananas for the best flavor and sweetness in your Blueberry Oatmeal Breakfast Bars.
  • Texture Matters: Ensure your wet and dry ingredients are thoroughly mixed for a uniform batter.
  • Don’t Skip the Cooling: Allow the bars to cool completely before slicing.
  • Bake Them Right: Slightly over-baking the bars is better than under-baking;
  • Experiment with Flavors: Feel free to swap ingredients, like adding a dash of nutmeg or trying different berries for a unique spin.
