Blueberry Granola Bars

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup Zen Basil Seeds

  • 1/3 cup maple syrup

  • 2 tbsp coconut oil

  • 1/3 cup peanut butter

  • 1 cup rolled oats

  • 1 cup oat flour

  • 1 cup blueberries

  • 1/4 cup water

Instructions

  1. Grease or line a loaf pan with parchment paper.

  2. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the blueberries and water.

  3. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally and lightly mashing the berries until thickened.

  4. In a large bowl, mix together the Zen Basil Seeds, maple syrup, coconut oil, peanut butter, rolled oats, and oat flour until well combined. The mixture should hold together when pressed. If it's too dry, add a little more peanut butter. If it's too wet, gradually add more oat flour.

  5. Reserve about 1/4 cup of the oat mixture for the topping.

  6. Press the remaining mixture firmly into the prepared loaf pan, using the back of a spoon or your fingers to create an even, compact layer.

  7. Spread the blueberry mixture evenly over the base.

  8. Crumble the reserved oat mixture over the top.

  9. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until firm.

  10. Slice into bars and enjoy. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
