Ingredients
1 1/2 cups old-fashioned oats
1/2 cup coarsely chopped unsalted almonds
1/2 cup whole flaxseed
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp salt
1 egg
1/4 cup raw honey
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/4 cups milk
1 cup fresh blueberries
Directions
Preheat your oven to 350°F. Lightly grease an 8x8-inch baking dish with cooking spray and set aside.
In a medium bowl, combine the oats, almonds, flaxseed, cinnamon, and salt. Mix well to ensure the cinnamon and salt are evenly distributed throughout the dry ingredients.
In a separate smaller bowl, whisk together the egg, honey, vanilla extract, and milk until the mixture is smooth and completely combined with no lumps.
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
Fold in the fresh blueberries carefully, distributing them evenly throughout the batter.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it in an even layer. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and let the bars cool completely in the baking dish before cutting into 9 equal squares.
Store the bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
Comments
Every ingredient is a grocery-store standard at any Charlotte chain, with no special stops required. The real prep time is closer to 50 minutes once you account for mixing, pressing the base into a pan, and baking, yet the stated time omits these steps. At roughly $1.20–$1.40 per bar, cost is reasonable, driven mainly by the almonds and fresh blueberries, which are affordable year-round locally. The bars reheat well and feed a crowd, though they're fussy enough to require a mixer and careful layering, so they're better suited to a weekend breakfast than a weeknight.
