These No-Bake Blueberry Granola bars feature fresh blueberries and have very little added sugar. With just a few simple ingredients and no oven required, they are the perfect nutritious snack to whip up in the heat of the summer or anytime throughout the year!
Servings 8 bars
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup Medjool dates about 4, pitted
- 1/3 cup + 1 tablespoon natural peanut butter
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 2 cups old-fashioned oats
- 1/2 cup almond meal*
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened coconut flakes
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
Instructions
- Add the dates, peanut butter and maple syrup to a food processor and process until smooth. Pour the liquid batter into a large bowl.
- To the bowl, add the oats, almond meal, coconut flakes and salt and stir with a spatula. You may need to use your hands to combine the mixture.
- Add the blueberries to the oat mixture and stir well. Some blueberries may burst, and that’s perfectly fine!
- Line a baking tin (8” x 8” or 9” x 13”) with parchment paper and press the oat mixture into the pan. Make sure you press it down until it’s firm. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
- *If you can’t find almond meal, buy almonds with the skin on and pulse in the food processor until they become crumbly.
- **These granola bars will stay for 3-4 days in the fridge.
