Baked Blueberry Oatmeal Bars
YUM!
I’ve been out of the kitchen for a bit now, and with fall fast approaching I’m feeling re-inspired to get back to baking.
First up, these delicious baked blueberry oatmeal bars. These are gluten free, dairy free, and nut free (great for a school lunch too). I’ve added extra plant-based protein to make them more filling, and can’t wait for you to try.
To add a little extra UMPH, I added some frozen blueberries, but like most of my recipes, you can add what you like/leave out what you don’t like! Originally I had also planned on adding more fruit, but wanted to keep these super simple, so here they are.
Enjoy these as a snack, a part of any meal or however you like!
