These Blueberry Oat Bars are the ultimate combo of wholesome ingredients and irresistible flavor — soft, chewy, and naturally sweetened, with a zingy chia blueberry jam layered between a buttery oat base and golden crumble topping. They’re perfect as a make-ahead breakfast, snack on the go, or even a healthy dessert. Plus, they’re entirely plant-based and gluten-free!
Think of them as your homemade version of a soft granola bar meets fruit tart — but better for you, and much easier to make.
