ingredients
 

Blueberry Jam Filling

  • 2 ½ tablespoons cornstarch
  • ⅛ cup warm water
  • 2 cups blueberries, fresh or frozen
  • ¼ cup agave syrup

instructions
 

Blueberry Jam Filling

  • Mix cornstarch with warm water until all of the cornstarch has dissolved and there are no more clumps. Set aside.
  • Combine blueberries and agave syrup in a small sauce pan over medium heat. Bring to a boil and stir well. The time depends on whether you're using fresh or frozen blueberries.
  • Remove from heat and stir in the pre-mixed cornstarch. Whisk until all clumps are gone and the colour of the cornstarch mixture turns from milky white to translucent (like jelly). Set aside to let it thicken and cool.

Oatmeal Base and Topping

  • Preheat the oven to 190°C (325°F) and line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, combine rolled oats, cinnamon, almond butter, sugar and coconut oil. Add the egg and mix until all of the oats are moistened and the mixture is thoroughly combined. Reserve about ⅓ of the oat mixture.
  • Press the remaining ⅔ oat mixture into the prepared baking pan with your hands, making sure it’s firmly pressed down and even. Spread the blueberry filling on top.
  • Crumble the reserved oat mixture on top, and slightly press it down into the filling using a spatula or your fingers.
  • Bake for 20 minutes, until the top is golden brown and the filling starts to bubble. Let it cool completely before slicing it into 16 squares.
  • The bars stay fresh covered tightly at room temperature or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
