🌾 BLUEBERRY OAT BARS (Makes 6-8)
Adapted from a recipe by Chocolate Covered Katie
Ingredients:
1 cup quick oats
½ cup oat flour (blend oats in a food processor or blender to get oat flour)
¼ tsp salt
¼ tsp baking powder
3 tbsp sugar
¼ tsp cinnamon (optional)
⅓ cup oil
1 cup fresh or frozen-thawed blueberries
½ tbsp honey
Directions:
Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F).
Line a baking dish (8 by 6 inches) with parchment paper and set aside. In a small bowl, mix honey with blueberries and set aside.
In a large bowl, combine oats, flour, salt, baking powder, sugar, and cinnamon. Then stir in oil and mix well.
Firmly press ⅔ of the dough into the prepared baking dish.
Add sweetened blueberries on top of the dough, then add remaining dough on top. Press down firmly.
Bake for about 40 minutes in the oven, until the top is a light golden brown. Let cool, then chill in the fridge for at least 1 hour to allow the bars to firm up.
🥜 NO-BAKE PEANUT BUTTER OAT BALLS (Makes ~20)
Adapted from a recipe by Beaming Baker
Ingredients:
1 cup natural peanut butter (just peanuts)
¼ cup honey
2 cups quick oats
Directions:
Add oats to a large bowl and set aside.
Add peanut butter and honey to a saucepan and heat over medium-low heat. Stir frequently, and once the peanut mixture smells fragrant, remove from heat immediately to prevent it from drying out too much.
Pour peanut mixture over the oats and mix well.
Roll the dough into balls and chill in the fridge for an hour or in the freezer for 15-20 mins, until firm.
