Healthy Blueberry Crumble Bars

Ingredients

• 1 cup oat flour, homemade or store-bought
• ½ cup almond flour
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ¼ cup coconut oil, melted
• ¼ cup real maple syrup
• Blueberry Filling:
• 2 ½ cups blueberries, fresh or frozen
• 3 tablespoon coconut sugar
• 2 teaspoon tapioca starch or cornstarch
• Zest of one lemon
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• Oatmeal Crumble Topping:
• ⅔ cup old-fashioned rolled oats, gluten-free or regular
• ¼ cup almond flour, spooned & leveled
• ¼ cup pecans or walnuts, finely chopped
• ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
• ⅓ cup pure maple syrup
• 2 tablespoon coconut oil, melted
• Use Fresh or Frozen Blueberries: Both work well, but if using frozen blueberries, don’t thaw them.
• Pack the Base Firmly: Press the shortbread crust firmly into the baking dish to ensure a solid base that holds together.
• Don’t Skip the Starch: Using tapioca starch or cornstarch is essential to thicken the blueberry filling and prevent it from being too runny.
• Let it Cool Completely: Allow the bars to cool in the pan before cutting. This helps them set and makes them easier to slice.
• Customize the Topping: For extra texture and flavor, add a handful of chopped nuts or a sprinkle of shredded coconut to the crumble topping.
• Oat Flour Sub: Substitute with all-purpose flour or a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend if not concerned about gluten.
• Coconut Oil Sub: Swap with an equal amount of melted butter or vegan butter.
• Maple Syrup Sub: Use honey or agave syrup as a 1:1 replacement for maple syrup.
• Coconut Sugar Sub: Substitute with brown sugar.
• Old-Fashioned Rolled Oats Sub: Quick oats can be used as a substitute, but expect a slightly softer texture in the crumble topping.
• Tapioca Starch or Cornstarch Sub: Arrowroot powder can be used interchangeably with tapioca starch or cornstarch.
• Storing: For longer storage, place the bars in an airtight container or wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and store them in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
