Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup almond butter
  • 1/3 cup maple syrup (natural)
  • 2 tbsp coconut oil
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (natural)
  • 1 tsp lemon zest

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups rolled oats
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds (natural gelling agent)
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Wet Mixture: Start by warming the almond butter, maple syrup (natural), and coconut oil in a small pan over low heat. Stir gently until the mixture is smooth and fully combined. Remove from heat, then mix in the vanilla extract (natural) and lemon zest to enhance the flavor and aroma.
  2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, add the rolled oats, chia seeds (natural gelling agent), and salt. Gently fold in the fresh blueberries to evenly distribute them without breaking.
  3. Mix the Wet and Dry: Pour the warm wet mixture over the dry ingredients and stir thoroughly. The natural gelling agent from the chia seeds will help bind the mixture so it sets firmly.
  4. Press and Chill: Transfer the mixture to a lined baking tray or dish, pressing firmly to create an even layer. Chill in the refrigerator for at least two hours until the bars become firm and easy to cut.
  5. Slice and Enjoy: Once the bars are set, carefully slice them into your preferred size. Store any extras in an airtight container for convenient snacking throughout the week.

Notes

  • Use fresh blueberries rather than frozen for the best texture and moisture balance.
  • Press the mixture firmly when assembling to help the bars hold together well.
  • Allow adequate chilling time for easier and cleaner slicing.
  • If the mixture feels too dry, add a splash more maple syrup (natural) or almond butter to improve binding.
  • Store bars in a shallow, airtight container to maintain freshness and ease of access.
