Description
These soft baked blueberry bars are tender, lightly sweet, and filled with a fruity chia jam layer. A wholesome and satisfying treat perfect for breakfast or snacking.
Ingredients
110 g oat flour
50 g ground almonds
1/4 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp cinnamon
Pinch of salt
2 tbsp maple syrup (for dough)
2 tbsp coconut oil, melted
1 tbsp milled flaxseed
3 tbsp water
200 g frozen blueberries
2 1/2 tbsp chia seeds
1 to 2 tbsp maple syrup (for filling)
1 tbsp lemon juice
Instructions
- Mix the milled flaxseed with water in a small bowl and let sit for 10–15 minutes until thickened.
- In a saucepan over low to medium heat, combine blueberries, maple syrup, and lemon juice. Mash as they cook until broken down.
- Remove from heat, stir in chia seeds, and let cool completely to thicken into a jam-like consistency.
- In a large bowl, combine oat flour, ground almonds, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
- Add maple syrup, melted coconut oil, and the flax mixture. Mix until a soft dough forms.
- Divide dough into two portions and roll each between parchment paper into rectangles about 1/4 inch thick.
- Spoon the cooled blueberry filling along the center of each rectangle.
- Fold one side of the dough over the filling, then the other side to seal. Roll gently so the seam is underneath.
- Slice each log into three bars, yielding six bars total.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (160°C fan) for 20–25 minutes until golden brown, or air fry at 180°C for 10–12 minutes.
- Allow to cool before serving.
