Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup dried blueberries
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)
  • Pinch of salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup nut butter (such as almond or peanut butter)
  • 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, dried blueberries, chia seeds (if using), and a pinch of salt. Stir until all the dry elements are evenly mixed.
  2. Warm the Wet Ingredients: In a small saucepan over low heat, gently warm the nut butter with honey or maple syrup, stirring until smooth and well combined. Remove from heat and mix in vanilla extract.
  3. Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Pour the warm nut butter mixture over the oats and blueberry mixture. Stir well to coat all the ingredients, ensuring the mixture becomes sticky and starts holding together.
  4. Press Into Pan: Transfer the mixture to a lined baking dish or square pan. Use your hands or a flat spatula to firmly press the mixture evenly across the pan, compacting it as much as possible to help the bars hold their shape.
  5. Chill Until Set: Place the pan in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or until the bars feel firm to the touch. Once chilled, cut into bars or squares.

Notes

  • Use old-fashioned oats for better texture and to help bars hold together.
  • Press the mixture firmly to avoid crumbling when slicing.
  • Ensure thorough chilling time to solidify bars and enhance flavor.
  • Adjust sweetness by tasting the wet mixture before combining.
  • Store bars in an airtight container to retain freshness and chewiness.
