Blueberry Oatmeal Bars

Ingredients

Crust and Crumble

• 2 cups Coach’s Oats
• 1 cup almond meal
• 1 cup whole wheat flour
• ½ cup coconut oil (not melted)
• ½ cup honey
• 1 tsp. vanilla
• ½ tsp. baking powder
• ½ tsp. cinnamon
• ½ tsp. salt
• 2 Tbsp. almond milk

Blueberry Filling

• 3 cups blueberries
• 2 Tbsp. honey
• Juice of 1 lemon
• 1 tsp. vanilla
• Pinch of salt
• 2 Tbsp. of corn starch, mixed with 2 Tbsp. of water

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350 °
2. In a large bowl combine oats, almond meal, flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt. Whisk to combine. Mix honey, vanilla and almond milk together in a bowl. Pour honey mixture and add coconut oil to oats. Mix well until liquid has been well incorporated. Press 2/3 of mixture into a well-greased 13x9” pan. Bake for 15 minutes.
3. While crust bakes, prepare filling. In a saucepan, combine filling ingredients over medium heat. Allow blueberries to release all their juices and the mixture to thicken about 10 – 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool a few minutes.
4. Pour blueberry mixture over crust. Sprinkle remaining oat mixture on top. Bake for an additional 20 minutes. Allow mixture to cool completely before cutting into bars.
