Blueberry cereal bars

Cereal bars are one of our favourite snacks. Unfortunately, they usually contain far too much added sugar to be eaten regularly.

So what if you don’t want to give up your daily bar?

I have a solution for you! A recipe for making your own bar. After all, the good thing about cooking is that you can keep an eye on the ingredients you use. Do we use a whole slab of butter, a slab of chocolate? How much sugar? Nothing like that in this recipe – yet you will enjoy it 😉

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 200 degrees.
2. In a small saucepan, bring the blueberries, agave syrup, lemon juice and water to the boil.
3. When the water boils, add the vanilla extract and cornstarch while stirring. Remove from heat and allow to cool. The mixture will thicken as it cools.
4. In a bowl, combine the rolled oats, oat bran, cinnamon, vanilla, baking powder and salt.
5. Add the applesauce, agave syrup and melted coconut oil. Mix until the oatmeal becomes thick and sticky (add a little water if the mixture is too dry).
6. In a pre-oiled baking dish, about half of the oat mixture should be poured into the bottom of the dish and pressed down firmly to form an even, well-packed base.
7. Pour the blueberry mixture over the oat layer. Spread evenly.
8. Cover with the remaining oat mixture and flatten firmly to form an even, well-packed layer.
9. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
10. Remove from the oven when the oats on top start to toast. Allow to cool before cutting into squares. Set aside the portion needed for your snack and place the leftovers in the refrigerator.
11. Enjoy!

Recipe Notes

Tip: If you don't have oat bran, you can use oat flakes and put them in a food processor!
