No Bake Blueberry Oat Bars are chewy, fruity snack bars layered with homemade blueberry chia jam and an oat-nut butter crust—perfect for a healthy, make-ahead treat with no oven required.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup nut butter (almond or peanut butter)
  • 1/4 cup melted coconut oil
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup or honey
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds
  • 1–2 tbsp maple syrup (for jam, adjust to taste)
  • 1 tsp lemon juice (optional, for brightness)

Instructions

  1. In a small saucepan, cook blueberries over medium heat until they begin to burst, about 5–7 minutes.
  2. Mash the berries lightly, then stir in chia seeds, maple syrup, and lemon juice. Simmer until thickened. Let cool slightly.
  3. In a large bowl, mix oats, nut butter, melted coconut oil, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined and sticky.
  4. Press half of the oat mixture firmly into a lined 8×8-inch pan to form the base.
  5. Spread the cooled blueberry chia jam evenly over the base.
  6. Crumble the remaining oat mixture over the jam layer and gently press down.
  7. Refrigerate for at least 2–3 hours or overnight until firm.
  8. Slice into bars and serve chilled or at room temperature.

Notes

  • Swap blueberries with raspberries, strawberries, or mixed berries.
  • Use sunflower seed butter or tahini for a nut-free version.
  • Add shredded coconut or chopped nuts for texture.
  • Mix in mini chocolate chips for a sweet twist.
  • Add protein powder to the oat mixture for an energy boost.
