Blueberry (any berry) Oat Bar

J didn't like anything-bar for the longest time, until he was around 11 months. I had to present it in small bite sized pieces on a spoon for him to self-feed. That was what made him want to eat it!

Dry Ingredients:

180g oats
140g flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
40g desiccated coconut
120g coconut oil

Wet Ingredients:

2 bananas mashed
2 tablespoons maple syrup
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
280g blueberries
2 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon chia seeds

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 180ºC
  2. Add the oats, flour, baking powder and 3/4’s of the desiccated coconut to a bowl. Stir and then make a well in the middle, and add in the coconut oil, bananas, maple syrup, egg and vanilla. Stir well until it is fully combined and has formed into a dough.
  3. Line a tin with parchment paper then pour in 3/4’s of the mixture, then press it down with a spoon.
  4. Make the blueberry compote: bring water and blueberries to a boil, then turn the heat down to low and using a wooden spoon or masher, mash until they have broken apart, then add the chia seeds and stir well.
  5. Pour the blueberry compote over the oat mixture, then spread the remaining mixture in small clumps on top.
  6. Sprinkle over the remaining desiccated coconut then bake for 15 minutes.
  7. Cool fully before removing from the oven then slice into small baby bites and serve.
*Freezes well. Thaw out overnight in the fridge for next day*
