Do you struggle with finding healthy breakfast or snack choices for your family? Something that doesn’t come from a package and contains questionable ingredients?
Our family is a little obsessed with healthy Easy Oatmeal Bars! This time of year when berries are in season, this Strawberry Oatmeal Bar Recipe and these Easy Blueberry Oatmeal Bars are made weekly!
Not only are they simple to bake, but they contain a minimal amount of processed sugar so they are definitely a Healthy Food Recipe the whole family loves.
We should note, that with minimal sugar and whole grains, these bars are not overly sweet. However, they are still incredibly delicious with their crumbly topping and baked blueberries!
One of the reasons we like them so much – Oats! Oats are among the healthiest grains on earth. They’re a gluten-free whole grain and a great source of important vitamins, minerals, fiber, and antioxidants.
We’re always looking for healthy snacks for the kiddos, so when you bake oats into a bar and it tastes this good, you can’t go wrong!

This recipe comes together with one bowl and one pan with a few simple steps!
First, preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Next, place all your dry ingredients for the main recipe including rolled oats and 1/2 cup honey, plus the melted butter and vanilla extract in a large bowl and mix.
Tip: you can also add a little lemon zest to the recipe for added lemon flavor.
Now, reserve 1 cup of the oat mixture and place the rest in the prepared pan and pat down. Next, place the washed blueberries, lemon juice, corn starch, and coconut sugar (if you prefer, regular granulated sugar) in the bowl you used for the oat mixture.
Stir to combine.
Next, place the blueberries on top of the oat mixture in the pan. Crumble reserved cup of the oat mixture over blueberries and place in the oven for 45 minutes.
Tip: Since oven temperatures vary, check your oatmeal bars the last few minutes of cooking to make sure they don’t overcook.
Finally, let cool completely before taking out of the pan.
Get ready for your house to smell amazing!
A great question that’s often asked especially when blueberries are not in season. Yes, you can use frozen blueberries in this recipe.
They contain more water content when frozen, so we recommend adding a teaspoon of cornstarch to the berries before adding the topping.
