Ingredients

Scale

Blueberry Mixture

  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • 1/4 cup grape juice
  • 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups rolled oats
  • 2 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup almond butter (plant-based)
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the blueberry mixture: Gently heat the fresh blueberries with grape juice and natural gelling agent in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir occasionally until the blueberries soften and release their juices and the mixture thickens slightly. Remove from heat and allow to cool completely.
  2. Combine dry ingredients: In a large bowl, mix together the rolled oats, chia seeds, and salt to form the base texture for the bars.
  3. Mix wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, blend the almond butter (plant-based), maple syrup (natural), and vanilla extract (natural) until smooth and creamy.
  4. Bring it all together: Add the cooled blueberry mixture to the wet ingredients, then pour this combined mixture over the dry oat mixture. Stir thoroughly until everything is fully integrated and sticky enough to hold shape.
  5. Shape and chill: Line a baking dish with parchment paper and press the mixture firmly into it. Cover and refrigerate for at least two hours or until set. Once firm, cut into bars or squares for easy snacking.

Notes

  • Choose ripe blueberries for the sweetest flavor.
  • Do not skip chilling to ensure perfect texture and easy cutting.
  • Press the mixture firmly into the dish to help bars hold together well.
  • Adjust maple syrup quantity based on the natural sweetness of the blueberries.
  • Store bars refrigerated if not eaten immediately to maintain freshness.
