Ingredients

• 1½ cups blueberries (I used frozen)
• 1½ tbsp chia seeds
• 1 tbsp pure maple syrup
• 1 cup oat flor
• 1 cup old-fashioned oats
• 2 tbsp coconut sugar (or brown sugar)
• ½ tsp cinnamon
• ¼ tsp salt
• ½ tsp baking soda
• ½ cup unsweetened applesauce
• ¼ cup pure maple syrup
• ¼ cup coconut oil, melted

Directions

• Preheat oven to 325F. Grease an 8x8in baking dish with coconut oil or cooking spray.
• Heat a small saucepan over medium heat. Add blueberries, chia seeds and maple syrup. Cook for about 10 minutes, stirring often. Use a potato masher to smash blueberries for the jam layer. Set aside.
• Combine oats, oat flour, sugar, cinnamon salt, and baking soda in a large bowl.
• Add applesauce, maple syrup and coconut oil, stirring to combine.
• Set aside a heaping half cup of the oat mixture and then press the rest evenly into the prepared pan. Top with blueberry chia jam, spreading evenly with a spoon or spatula.
• Sprinkle the rest of the oat mixture on top.
• Bake for 30 minutes. Cool completely on a wire rack before cutting into 12 bars.
• Store in the refrigerator.
