Description

No Bake Blueberry Oat Bars are a delicious and wholesome snack made with whole-grain rolled oats, fresh blueberries, and natural sweeteners. These chewy bars are quick to prepare with no oven required, making them perfect for breakfast, a nutritious snack, or a light dessert. They combine natural flavors and textures with a plant-based creamy almond butter and a natural gelling agent to hold everything together for a convenient, flavorful treat.

Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups rolled oats
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup (natural)
  • 1/2 cup almond butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent
  • Pinch of sea salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Blueberry Mixture: Gently heat the fresh blueberries with maple syrup (natural) in a saucepan over low heat until they soften and release their juices. Stir occasionally, then sprinkle in the natural gelling agent and mix to help the mixture set as it cools, creating the fruity base for the bars.
  2. Combine the Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix the rolled oats, chia seeds, and a pinch of sea salt until evenly combined. This will provide structure and texture for the bars.
  3. Add Wet Ingredients: Stir almond butter and vanilla extract (natural) into the warm blueberry mixture until smooth and creamy. Pour this mixture into the oats and fold everything together until a sticky dough forms.
  4. Shape and Chill: Firmly press the mixture into a lined 8×8-inch pan, smoothing the surface with the back of a spoon or spatula. Refrigerate for at least two hours to allow the bars to firm up, making them easier to cut and hold together well.
  5. Slice and Enjoy: Once set, remove the mixture from the pan and slice into bars or squares. Store in the refrigerator and enjoy as a convenient on-the-go snack.

Notes

  • Choose fresh blueberries for the best texture and natural sweetness.
  • Press the mixture firmly when shaping to prevent crumbling after chilling.
  • Line the pan with parchment paper for easy removal and clean slicing.
  • Adjust the amount of maple syrup (natural) to customize sweetness to your taste.
  • Refrigerate long enough for optimal firmness and easy slicing.
