Ingredients

1 1/2 cups blueberries
1 1/2 tbsp chia seeds
1 tbsp pure maple syrup
1 cup oat flour
1 1/2 cups old-fashioned oats
2 tbsp coconut sugar
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
1/4 cup pure maple syrup
1/4 cup coconut oil

Steps

Heat the oven to 350 F and grease a 9-by-13-inch pan with cooking oil.
Stir the blueberries, chia seeds, and 1 tablespoon maple syrup in a small bowl, then let the mixture stand for 5 minutes.
Mix the oat flour, oats, coconut sugar, cinnamon, salt, and baking soda in a large bowl.
Stir in the applesauce, remaining maple syrup, and melted coconut oil until a crumbly dough forms.
Press two-thirds of the dough into the pan, spread the blueberry mixture over it, and crumble the remaining dough on top.
Bake for 25 minutes, then cool the bars in the pan for 8 minutes before cutting.
