Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup nut butter
  • 1/3 cup maple syrup (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups rolled oats
  • 2 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 1 to 1 1/2 teaspoons natural gelling agent

Fresh Ingredients

  • 1 cup fresh blueberries

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Wet Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the nut butter and maple syrup (natural) until smooth and creamy. Stir gently in the vanilla extract (natural) to build a balanced flavor base.
  2. Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Add the rolled oats, chia seeds, and natural gelling agent to the wet mixture. Gently fold everything together, ensuring the oats and seeds are evenly coated without breaking the berries.
  3. Fold in Blueberries: Lightly mix in fresh blueberries, taking care not to crush them too much so they maintain their juicy texture and vibrant color.
  4. Press Mixture into Pan: Line a square pan with parchment paper and press the mixture firmly into place using the back of a spoon or your hands, ensuring the bars will hold their shape once set.
  5. Set in Refrigerator: Place the pan in the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours to let the mixture firm up. Once set, cut into bars and enjoy your wholesome snack.

Notes

  • Use fresh blueberries for the best flavor and texture.
  • Press the mixture firmly into the pan to help the bars hold together well.
  • Do not overmix when folding in blueberries to keep them whole.
  • Chill the bars sufficiently to achieve the perfect consistency.
  • Experiment with natural sweeteners such as agave or date syrup for subtle flavor variations.
