Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups old-fashioned oats
  • 3/4 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Mix-ins

  • 3/4 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking pan with parchment paper. Measure the oats, whole wheat flour, and chopped walnuts, and wash the blueberries if using fresh to have everything ready.
  2. Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the oats, whole wheat flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt to evenly distribute all dry components.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract until smooth to create a moist binder.
  4. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. The batter should be thick but not overmixed to maintain tenderness.
  5. Fold in Blueberries and Walnuts: Carefully fold in the blueberries and chopped walnuts, distributing them evenly without bursting the berries.
  6. Bake: Transfer the mixture into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 25-30 minutes, or until edges turn golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  7. Cool and Slice: Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan before slicing into bars. This helps them set properly for easy grab-and-go pieces.

Notes

  • Use fresh blueberries for brighter flavor; frozen blueberries are a suitable substitute.
  • Don’t overmix the batter to avoid tough bars.
  • Chop walnuts uniformly for even texture without overly large chunks.
  • Line your baking pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking and aid in removal.
  • Cool bars completely before slicing to prevent crumbling.
