If you're looking for a fresher healthier summer treat then you've clicked on the right post.
Today I thought I'd share these blueberry crumb bars that are not only super delicious but crazy simple to prepare.
Let's dance away to the kitchen, shall we?
Guilt Free Treats
You might think the title might be too bold but hey, I stand with it. And of course, let's throw in the common sense of everything good comes in moderation.
Ok, let's break things down a bit. What's up with this recipe?
Well it's white flour free.
It's white sugar free.
It's eggless.
It takes seconds to prepare (ok yeah that is pushing it but you know what I mean)
And the bars are darn delicious!
Wonderful Light Summer Taste
These bars are with crust and crumbs that are not overly sweet. Using the combination of rolled oats, oat flour and desiccated coconut really packs nutrition value and they full you more.
If you're concern on how to get oat flour or because it's on the expensive side, then concern no more.
Simply put your rolled oats in a food processor and blend until super fine texture. Almost like white flour texture.
See? Easy!

Blueberries are so easy to find in the summer, which makes it even the perfect time to make these beauties.
The filling is just pure fresh blueberries with some coconut sugar, lemon juice and cornstarch.
The crust and crumbs really blends amazingly with the fruity flavour of the filling.
Give this a try, alright?

Yummy bar. The bottom broke away so couldn’t pick up - had to use a spoon on a plate. It was a yummy bar and will make again and may blind bake the base first.
