Blueberry oat bars

These are really tasty and easy to make. I got the recipe from Joel Luks, one of the best vegan chefs out there! And now there are lots of blueberries in the forest, so go out there and fill up fridge and freezer. :)

RECIPE
2 cups blueberries
juice of 1/2 lemon
1 tbsp agave/yacon
1 tsp cornstarch

1 cup each quick oats and whole wheat flour (you can use regular white flour also)
1/4 tsp baking soda

1/4 cup ground flax seeds
1 tsp cinnamon
2/3 cups brown sugar, lightly packed

1/2 cup vegan butter

First, set the oven to 350 F.
Mix the corn starch with a little cold water until it's resolved. Put the blueberries, syrup and lemon juice in a medium saucepan. Bring it to a boil and add the corn starch-water. Let it simmer for about 5-8 minutes, and stir occasionally. Take the saucepan off the stove and let it cool.

Put all the dry ingredients into a bowl and stir.

 

Melt the butter and add it to the dry mixture. Knead into a crumble dough. Spread HALF of the dough onto the bottom of a small rectangular pan. 

 

Put it in the oven and bake for about 25 minutes. Take it out and spread the blueberries onto the dough. 

Sprinkle over the rest of thedough on top of the blueberries and put it in the oven for 20 more minutes.

 Let it cool completly and then cut it into pieces. Serve as it is, or with vegan ice cream or vegan whipped cream on the side.
