Recipe Summary

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Cook Time: 30 minutes

Total Time: 45 minutes

Servings: 12 bars

Skill Level: Easy

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups rolled oats
• 1 cup whole wheat flour
• 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 cup butter, melted
• 1 egg, lightly beaten
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
• 1 tablespoon honey (optional, for drizzling)

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9×9-inch baking dish with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, whole wheat flour, brown sugar, salt, and ground cinnamon.
3. Add the melted butter, beaten egg, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Stir until well combined and the mixture forms a crumbly dough.
4. Press half of the dough mixture firmly into the prepared baking dish to form an even base layer.
5. Evenly distribute the blueberries over the base layer.
6. Sprinkle the remaining dough mixture on top of the blueberries, gently pressing it down.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown.
8. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely in the dish before cutting into bars.
9. For an extra touch of sweetness, drizzle with honey just before serving.

Helpful Tips

• If fresh blueberries are out of season, frozen blueberries work just as well.
• Add a sprinkle of chopped nuts for extra crunch and flavor.
• Use a pizza cutter to make cutting the bars easier and more uniform.

Storage Instructions

Store the blueberry breakfast bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to four days. For longer storage, refrigerate for up to a week, or freeze for up to three months.

Pairings

Serve these delightful breakfast bars with a warm cup of coffee or tea. They also pair beautifully with a refreshing glass of milk or a dollop of Greek yogurt on the side.
