Ingredients

Blueberry Jam

• 1 1/2 cups blueberries, fresh or frozen
• 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
• 1/4 cup water

Oat Bars

• 1 cup rolled oats
• 1 cup almond flour (or more oats or almonds grounded to a flour)
• 1/2 cup peanut (or any other nut or seed) butter
• 1/4 cup protein or collagen peptides powder
• 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
• 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

• Line a 7 x 5-inch loaf pan or dish with parchment paper on the bottom and sides leaving some overhanging to act as a handle to get the bars out easier for cutting. Or use a silicon baking pan or dish.

  In a medium pot over medium heat, add blueberries, honey and water and simmer for 6-8 minutes. Gently smash half of the blueberries.

  In a medium bowl, add oats, almond flour, peanut butter, protein powder, honey, coconut oil and vanilla mix together until combined. If the mixture seems a bit dry add water a tablespoon at a time, and keep mixing until a dough like texture is formed.

  Transfer 2/3 the oat mixture to the loaf pan and spread out evenly.

  Next add the blueberry jam on top and spread out evenly – leaving a slight border. Then add the remaining oat mixture on top and spread out evenly. Chill for 2 hours or overnight.

  Slice into 10 bars or more smaller squares to serve.

  Will keep in the fridge for up to 1 week or freezer for up to 3 months.
