HOW TO MAKE HEALTHY BERRY OAT BARS

This recipe is very easy to make and only takes a few simple ingredients. Start by making the chia seed berry jam. Puree 1 and ½ cups of frozen (thawed) Oregon raspberries and blackberries. Add in the maple syrup and chia seeds. Chia seeds are loaded with healthy fat and protein, which really adds a little healthy boost to these breakfast bars! Place in the fridge until you’re ready to use it.

Next, combine the oats, whole wheat flour, baking soda, salt, sugar, egg, butter, maple syrup, and milk in a large bowl. Reserve about a cup of the dough for the crumble, and press the rest of the dough into the bottom of an 8×8 inch baking dish.

Spread the chia berry jam on top of the oatmeal layer, and drop the reserved ½ cup oat mixture in small bits on top. Bake the bars at 350 degrees for approximately 30 minutes.

When done, allow the bars to cool for at least 30 minutes before gently removing them from the pan. Slice, serve, and enjoy!
