Ingredients
  

2 cups rolled oats

1 cup almond flour (or whole wheat flour)

1/2 cup maple syrup or honey

1/3 cup coconut oil, melted

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)

1/4 cup chopped nuts (walnuts or almonds, optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8 inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.

    Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, almond flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon (if using). Stir well to ensure even distribution.

      Prepare the Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, mix together the melted coconut oil, maple syrup/honey, and vanilla extract until fully combined.

        Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until everything is just combined. Gently fold in the blueberries and any chopped nuts you're using.

          Transfer to Baking Dish: Spoon the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly. Use a spatula to press down firmly to create a compact layer.

            Bake: Place in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the center is set.

              Cool: Remove from the oven and let it cool in the baking dish for about 10 minutes. Then, use the parchment overhang to lift the bars out and place them on a wire rack to cool completely.

                Cut into Bars: Once cooled, cut into squares or rectangles, depending on your desired size.

                  Store: These bars can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for a few days, or in the fridge for longer freshness.
