  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free blend)
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Wet Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup melted butter or coconut oil
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup almond milk (or milk of choice)

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Additional:

  • 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
  • Optional: 1/2 cup chopped nuts (e.g. walnuts)
  • Optional: Zest of 1 lemon

Instructions

  1. Preheat: Preheat oven to 350°F and line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk oats, oat flour, flour, brown sugar, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk melted butter (or oil), eggs, milk, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla until smooth.
  4. Combine wet and dry: Stir wet ingredients into dry until just combined, then gently fold in blueberries (and nuts or zest if using).
  5. Bake: Transfer batter into prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 35-40 minutes until golden and set.
  6. Cool and Slice: Let cool before slicing into 9 or 16 bars.

Notes

  • Use gluten-free certified oats and flour for a gluten-free version.
  • Swap butter with coconut oil and use plant milk for a dairy-free option.
  • Honey or maple syrup can be used to replace sugar.
  • Stir thawed frozen berries gently to prevent color bleed.
  • Bars can be kept refrigerated for up to 5 days or frozen for up to 3 months. Adapted from Eat Yourself Skinny.
