Ingredients
  

1 ½ cups rolled oats

1 cup almond flour (or your choice of flour)

½ cup honey or maple syrup

1 cup plain Greek yogurt

1 large lemon (zested and juiced)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon baking powder

½ teaspoon sea salt

1 cup fresh blueberries (plus a handful for topping, if desired)

Optional: ¼ cup chopped nuts (such as almonds or walnuts) for added crunch

Instructions
 

Preheat Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare an 8x8 inch baking pan by greasing it or lining it with parchment paper to ensure easy removal of the bars later.

    Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, almond flour, baking powder, and sea salt. Use a whisk to stir the mixture until the ingredients are well incorporated.

      Prepare Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix together the Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Whisk until the mixture is smooth, creamy, and fully blended.

        Combine Ingredients: Pour the wet ingredient mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir gently until everything is just combined; avoid over-mixing. Carefully fold in the fresh blueberries and chopped nuts (if using), taking care not to crush the berries.

          Spread Mixture: Scoop the combined mixture into the prepared baking pan. Use a spatula or the back of a spoon to spread the mixture evenly across the pan. For an attractive touch, sprinkle some extra blueberries on top before baking.

            Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes. The bars should be set and have a light golden brown color on the edges when ready.

              Cool Down: After baking, remove the pan from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for approximately 10 minutes. Carefully transfer the bars to a wire rack to cool completely; this will help them firm up.

                Slice and Serve: Once fully cooled, cut the bars into squares or rectangles, depending on your preference. Enjoy them immediately, or store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week for a delightful snack.
