They combine creamy almond butter, wholesome oat flour, and antioxidant-rich wild blueberries into a soft, chewy bar that’s perfect for on-the-go energy or post-workout recovery.

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup vanilla protein powder (64g)
  • 1/2 cup oat flour (64g) (see notes on how to make oat flour at home)
  • 2 Tbsp granulated monk fruit sweetener (optional)

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup almond butter (128g) (can substitute peanut butter if desired)
  • 1/4 cup frozen wild blueberries, completely thawed

Instructions

  1. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a clean bowl, combine the vanilla protein powder, oat flour, and granulated monk fruit sweetener, ensuring the mixture is well blended.
  2. Add Wet Ingredients and Knead Dough: Add the almond butter and thawed wild blueberries to the dry mix. Using your hands, knead the ingredients together until a cohesive dough forms. If the dough feels too soft, incorporate more oat flour one teaspoon at a time. Conversely, if the dough is too thick, add a small amount of milk or water gradually. The goal is a firm yet pliable dough that can be rolled into a ball without crumbling.
  3. Shape and Wrap Dough: Form the dough into a rectangular mound. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap or place it in an airtight container to prepare for chilling.
  4. Chill in Freezer: Place the wrapped dough in the freezer and let it set for at least 30 minutes, which will help firm up the bars for slicing.
  5. Slice Into Bars: Remove the dough from the freezer and slice into 6 equally sized bars for convenient servings.
  6. Serve and Enjoy: Your vegan blueberry oatmeal protein bars are ready to enjoy immediately, perfect as a healthy snack or post-exercise fuel.

Notes

  • To make oat flour at home, simply grind rolled oats in a food processor or blender until a fine powder forms.
  • The granulated monk fruit sweetener is optional and can be omitted or substituted with another sweetener of your choice.
  • The dough consistency is key: add oat flour or liquid slowly to achieve the perfect texture.
  • These bars are best stored in the refrigerator or freezer to maintain texture and freshness.
