---

Prep Time: 15 minutes | Cook Time: 35 minutes | Total Time: 50 minutes

Ingredients:

• For the crust and crumble:

  1 and 1/2 cups almond flour

  1 and 1/2 cups rolled oats*

  1/4 tsp baking soda

  1/4 tsp salt

  1/2 cup coconut oil, melted

  1/4 cup maple syrup

  1 tsp vanilla extract

• For the blueberry filling:

  2 and 1/2 cups blueberries, fresh or frozen

  1/3 cup maple syrup

  3 tbsp cornstarch

  1 tbsp lemon juice

  1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions (yields 16 bars):

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Line an 8x8-inch pan with parchment paper. Set aside.

• Combine the flour, oats, baking soda, and salt together in a bowl. Add in the coconut oil, maple syrup, and vanilla extract and stir until well combined.

• Divide the mixture in half and press half into the bottom of the prepared pan to form the crust. Set aside.

• Add the blueberries to a saucepan over medium heat. Use a fork to mash the blueberries. Stir in the maple syrup, cornstarch, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Bring the mixture to a boil, then simmer over low heat for 5-7 minutes, or until thickened.

• Pour the blueberry mixture over the crust and spread into an even layer.

• Then, using your fingers, top the blueberry layer with the remaining crumble mixture.

• Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the crumble is golden. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely before cutting.

• Recipe Notes

  While oats are naturally gluten-free, they are often processed in facilities that also handle wheat, barley, or rye. If you have celiac disease, choose certified gluten-free oats to minimize the risk of cross-contamination.
