Ingredients
Crust and crumble
- 1 ¼ c oats
- 1 ¼ c oat flour
- ¼ c melted coconut oil
- ¼ c almond butter
- ¼ c maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
Filling
- 2.5 c blueberries fresh or frozen
- 1 tablespoon arrowroot powder sub cornstarch
- 2 tablespoon maple syrup

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F and line an 8x8 baking pan with parchment paper.
- Combine all crust/crumble ingredients in a mixing bowl.
- Press ¾ of the mixture into your baking pan (press down firmly so the crust with hold together nicely). Bake for 10mins, then remove from oven to let cool slightly
- While crust is baking, add blueberries, arrowroot powder, maple syrup and lemon juice to a saucepan over medium heat. Once blueberries begin to soften, start to mash them with a fork. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook for another 5mins.
- Turn off heat and stir in chia seeds. Let sit 5mins to thicken.
- Pour blueberry filling over top of your crust layer and sprinkle your remaining crumb topping all over top.
- Bake for 20-25mins until filling is bubbly and top is lightly golden.
- Let cool completely before slicing into squares. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge!
