<\/figure>\n<\/div>\nHi friends!<\/p>\n
I’ve got a super easy new recipe to share today! I’ve been loving these Blueberry Oat Breakfast Bars as a quick snack after my morning workout lately. Summer blueberry season is almost here and you’re definitely going to want to try this one! (If you prefer muffins, try my Healthy Blueberry Muffins<\/a>!)<\/p>\n These bars are:<\/p>\n I prefer to make these bars with quick oats. They’re the same as rolled oats or old fashioned oats, just rolled flatter and chopped smaller so you get a boost of fiber and other nutrients but they’re less noticeable in baked goods like these bars.<\/p>\n You can use fresh or frozen blueberries in this recipe. No need to thaw before using, just throw them in frozen. You can also use wild blueberries (a smaller variety) if you prefer.<\/p>\n While many bars can be a bit on the crumbly side, these hold up fairly well. My best tip is to let them cool completely before cutting. Attempting to cut them while warm will leave you with a crumbly mess.<\/p>\n These bars are made with Greek yogurt which gives them a nice little boost of protein, but as always, adding hemp seeds to baked goods is one of my favorite ways to add a little extra protein. You can learn more about hemp seeds in my Super Seeds Guide<\/a>! Or try topping these bars with a little Greek yogurt drizzle<\/a>.<\/p>\n I make these bars with sugar. But you could also try with maple syrup or honey. To cut back on the added sugar you could also try replacing some or all of the sugar with mashed banana or more applesauce.<\/p>\n To add a lemon twist, try grating in some lemon zest and the juice from one lemon or making a lemon glaze<\/a>. (You might also like my Lemon Blueberry Zucchini Bread<\/a>)<\/p>\n This recipe already includes 2 tsp of cinnamon but feel free to bump it up if you’re a cinnamon lover. Or sprinkle a cinnamon\/sugar mixture on top before baking!<\/p>\n If you’re feeling fancy, swap the vanilla extract for some almond extract!<\/p>\n To make these bars gluten-free, use certified gluten-free oats and flax if needed and swap the flour with a gluten-free 1:1 flour blend. I like King Arthur Measure for Measure<\/a>.<\/p>\n If I were making these for a toddler, I would use wild blueberries because they’re smaller and bake them in mini muffin tins. Mini muffins are less messy and easier for little hands to hold. I would also swap the maple syrup for mashed banana or applesauce.<\/p>\n Using white whole wheat flour can help increase the amount of fiber in these bars. They get a nice boost of fiber from the 1\/3 cup ground flaxseeds as well. You could also add a few tablespoons of chia seeds.<\/p>\n These bars can be stored at room temperature for 2-3 days but they are fairly moist and if the weather is warm they can grow mold fairly quickly. You can either freeze half right after you make them and pull them out later in the week or store them in the fridge and warm them up in the microwave.<\/p>\n To freeze, let the pan cool completely, cut into bars and place in a freezer-safe bag. To thaw, place on the counter at room temperature or microwave 15-30 seconds.<\/p>\n To serve these bars for breakfast or at snack time, I like to pair with some protein. Try serving a bar with a serving of yogurt and some fresh fruit, or crumbling over yogurt to make a parfait. Or serve with eggs and toast or a breakfast sandwich. To keep it super simple, serve with a glass of milk. <\/p>\n To make this recipe dairy-free you could try swapping the yogurt for your favorite dairy-free yogurt. Or try using almond or soy milk to replace the yogurt.<\/p>\n We love these homemade bars because we can control the ingredients use. They’re fairly low in added sugar, get a boost of fiber from the oats and flax and are easy to make!<\/p>\n Here’s the recipe I use:<\/p>\n Print<\/a><\/span><\/p>\nWhy You’ll Love These Blueberry Oat Breakfast Bars<\/h2>\n
