Zesty Blueberry Granola Bars
Makes 10 Bars
Freeze: 2 months
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 30 Minutes
Ingredients
¼ cup virgin coconut oil
⅓ cup pure maple syrup
¼ cup almond butter
2 eggs
2 cups rolled oats
½ cup oat flour (spelt or brown rice)
¼ cup raw sunflower seeds
¼ cup raw walnut pieces
2 Tbsp lemon zest
2 Tbsp ground flaxseeds
1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and line an 8- × 8-inch baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Melt the coconut oil by placing it in a small pot on the stove top over medium-low heat until it liquefies. Remove it from the heat and stir in the maple syrup and almond butter.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and add the coconut oil and maple syrup mixture. Make sure the coconut oil and maple syrup is only lukewarm so that it doesn’t cook the eggs.
- Combine the oats, oat flour, sunflower seeds, walnut pieces, lemon zest, and ground flaxseeds. Then fold this into the liquid ingredients, adding the blueberries. Mix well with a spoon. You may want to use your hands to help the sticky granola dough form.
- Spread the mixture on the prepared pan, using your hands to spread and press it down evenly.
- Bake in the oven for 30 minutes, or until the slab is firm and slightly brown on top.
- Let cool for at least 30 minutes. Carefully lift the edges of the parchment paper to take the slab out of the pan. Then slice into bars.
- You can store the granola bars in a container in the fridge for up to a week or freeze in an airtight container for up to 2 months.
