Blueberry Oatmeal Anytime Bars

Say HELLO to the food for all times of day.

I can totally see me having these guys for breakfast and snacks and dessert.  If I’m feeling it I may even add a spread of chocolate peanut butter (aka you melt chocolate chips in a bowl and then mix in a spoonful of peanut butter…it’s fabulous).

This recipe was inspired by a recipe I stumbled across from Carrots n’ Cake.  I switched things around a bit (because I loathe actually following recipes…I get bored!) and they still came out great.

Now.  Let’s say you hate blueberries.  I know! Crazy talk.  But if you do hate blueberries you could easily swap in some chocolate chips for the blueberries.  Bonus points if you swap in mini chocolate chips because mini chocolate chips are the cutest.  And since you are adding chocolate chips you could add in peanut butter for the cashew butter because we all know the besties that pb & chocolate are.

Lately (aka for the past 2 years), I’ve been enjoying oatmeal in baked form rather than creamy, typical oatmeal form.  Which is why I have a gajillion baked oatmeal recipes on the blog.  There was the grapefruit baked oatmeal with walnut streusel, the s’mores baked oatmeal, the carrot cake baked oatmeal with pecan streusel, and the list goes on and on.  I’m not calling this recipe ‘baked oatmeal’ because it is more doughy and soft and moist and (dare I say) more wonderful than baked oatmeal.  The texture is amazing and reminds me of my baked oatmeal blueberry muffin donuts (which were insanely yum).

If you are reading this in the morning, I’m probably sitting at my kitchen bar drinking a vanilla latte and eating some of these bars for breakfast.  Yup.

  1. Obsessed with breakfast bakes lately too- the texture + conveience is TOO good

  2. They look amazing! How long do you think they would keep?

  3. These look amazing and indeed would be perfect at anytime!

  4. These look delish! Do you think they’d freeze well?

  5. wow. these look great….Good for kids lunches. I like that its dairy free(no butter).

  6. I just made these, but I replaced the butter with applesauce. So delicious! 

  7. These look great! My son loves any kind of baked good, can’t wait to try these for him. Thanks for the recipe!

  8. Just pulled these out of the oven and the house smells AMAZING! Thanks for the recipe!

  9. Yum! These were a big hit at my house. I’ve made them twice in the last three days! Also, I hear ya about getting bored following recipes. I always have to tweak at least a few things (in this case it was using maple syrup instead of brown sugar and quadrupling the amount of cinnamon–still turned out great.) Thanks for the recipe!

  10. I made these with almond butter instead of cashew butter, and chocolate chips instead of blueberries.  I don’t think I need to tell you that they were amazing lol.  Great recipe!  :)

  13. Hi, Kylie
    Thanks for your nice oatmeal-berry recipe. The oatmeal looks so good and the butter and coconut oil add so much flavor to them. Kids will love this bar. I am going to try it in the next morning.
