Blueberry Soft Baked Bars
A soft bake filled with blueberry yumminess! They make a great on-the-go breakfast or handy snack. They taste like a treat, but are much better for you than your average shop bought snack bars.
Ingredients
- 110 g oat flour oats ground up into a fine flour in a high-speed blender
- 50 g ground almonds
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
- 2 tbsp maple syrup or honey
- 2 tbsp coconut oil melted
- 1 tbsp milled flaxseed or ground chia seeds
- 3 tbsp water
For the blueberry filling
- 200 g frozen blueberries other berries will also work
- 2.5 tbsp chia seeds
- 1-2 tbsp maple syrup or to taste
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
Instructions
To make the chia jam filling
- Add the blueberries to a small saucepan along with the maple syrup and lemon juice.
- Gently cook over a low/medium heat while mashing the blueberries with a wooden spoon.
- Once the blueberries are all mashed up, take off the heat and fold in the chia seeds. Leave to cool completely. The jam will set as it cools.
To make the dough
- Mix the milled flaxseed and water in a small bowl and leave to set for 10-15 minutes.
- In a large bowl, mix together the oat flour, ground almonds, cinnamon, baking powder and salt. Pour in the maple syrup, coconut oil and set flaxseed mixture. Mix to combine.
- Divide the dough in 2 and roll out between two sheets of parchment paper into a rectangle (about 1/4″ thickness) and cut off any ragged edges.
- Spread the set blueberry jam along the centre of each rectangle. Fold one side of the dough on top of the jam and press on it very gently, then fold the other side to enclose.
- Gently roll the log so the seam is on the bottom, then slice into 3 bars (you should have 6 bars in total)
- You can bake them in an air-fryer at 180C for 10-12 minutes.
- Alternatively you can bake them in a preheated oven at 180C/160C fan/350F for 20-25 minutes until the bars are golden brown.
- Leave to cool and enjoy!
Notes
Store in an air-tight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
You can eat it cold, or reheat it in the oven/air-fryer.
