- ½ cup organic dark brown sugar
- 2 tsp lemon zest
- ½ tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp organic cinnamon
- ¼ tsp organic nutmeg
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 large organic egg
- ½ stick of organic unsalted butter (melted)
- ½ cup cold-pressed, organic coconut oil
- ½ cup of organic yogurt
Blueberry Filling:
- 4 cups organic blueberries
- 3 Tbsp dark brown sugar
- 1 Tbsp fresh, organic lemon juice
- 1 Tbsp cornstarch
Directions
Preheat oven to 350°F and grease an 8″ x 8″ baking dish with butter. In a large bowl combine oats, flour, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt; mix well. Add the egg, coconut oil, butter, and yogurt to the oat mixture and stir until blended. In a separate bowl, gently combine all of the ingredients for the blueberry filling. Gently press 3/4 of the crust mixture in the bottom of the greased pan until the bottom is covered. Pour the blueberry filling on top and distribute evenly. Crumble the remaining dough mixture over the top of the blueberries and bake for 45 minutes. Let the bars cool completely before slicing and service with vanilla ice cream.
