Easy Blueberry Oatmeal Bars

Do you struggle with finding healthy breakfast or snack choices for your family?  Something that doesn’t come from a package and contain questionable ingredients?

Our family is a little obsessed with nutritious 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 make, they contain minimal processed sugar so they are definitely a Healthy Food Recipe the whole family loves.

I should note, that with minimal sugar and whole grains, there bars aren’t overly sweet, but still 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.  I’m always looking for a healthy snacks for the kiddos, so when you bake oats into a bar and it tastes this good, you can’t go wrong!

Blueberry Oatmeal Bars Recipe

This recipe comes together with one bowl and one pan with a few simple steps!  Place all your dry ingredients for the main recipe, plus the melted butter and vanilla in a large bowl and mix.

Reserve 1 cup oat mixture and place the rest in the prepared pan and pat down. Place the washed blueberries, lemon juice, corn starch and coconut sugar (regular sugar if you prefer) in the bowl you used for the oat mixture.  Stir to combine.

Place the blueberries on top of the oat mixture in the pan.  Crumble reserved cup of oat mixture over blueberries and place in the oven for 45 minutes.

Get ready for your house to smell amazing!

Tips for The Best Blueberry Oatmeal Bars

• This recipe is best if you use old fashioned oats, not instant oats.
• I like using the healthy option of whole wheat flour, but regular flour would also work.
• To store, layer the bars between waxed paper in an airtight container.  Keep in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.  Bring back to room temperature before serving.
• Blueberry Oatmeal Bars can be frozen for up to 3 months.

You can definitely do these Baked Oatmeal Bars for Breakfast.  They are are quick grab-n-go recipe that’s healthy and a dream if you’re rushing out of the house (like we do most of the time)! Munch away!

Oh, and if you want to have them for dessert, they go great with vanilla ice cream or fresh whipped cream 🙂
