How to make blueberry bars
Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a 9×9 baking pan with parchment paper.
Step 1: In a large bowl, mix the flour, rolled oats, desiccated coconut, honey, and 1 cup of coconut sugar. Pour the coconut oil and stir to combine.
Step 2: Divide the mixture adding about 2/3 of it to your prepared pan. Spread and gently press the mixture in an even layer all over the base of the pan. Reserve 1/3 of the mixture for the topping.
Step 3: In a medium bowl combine all the ingredients for the filling, stirring well to incorporate the cornstarch. Spread the blueberry mixture over the base in the pan.
Step 4: Sprinkle with the reserved oat mixture. Bake, in the middle rack of the oven, for 30-35 minutes.
Frequently asked questions
Yes. You can use either fresh blueberries or frozen blueberries.
I do recommend using rolled oats instead of quick oats to make these blueberry bars.
Fresh blueberries are low in calories. One cup of blueberries contains only 84 calories, with 21.5 grams of carbohydrates. They are also high in fiber.
Place the blueberry bars in a sealed container in the fridge for for up to 7 days.
Storage recommendations
You can store these blueberry breakfast bars in an airtight container when cooled off. They are good for a few hours on your kitchen counter at room temperature and last for 5-7 days if stored in the refrigerator.
