Ingredients

1 1/4 cups of HerbaZest Quinoa Flakes
1 1/2 cups of oat flour
8 tablespoons of maple syrup (divided)

Directions

Preheat oven to 350°F (176°C) and line an 8x8-inch pan with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, mix oat flour, quinoa flakes, maple syrup (5 TBS), coconut oil, salt, and vanilla.
Squeeze the mixture with your hands to form a sticky dough. Add 1–2 tablespoons of water if too dry.
Press 1¾ cups of dough into the pan, smoothing evenly. Place the pan and the rest of the dough in the fridge while you make the jam.
For the jam, heat blueberries, maple syrup (3 TBS), lemon juice, and chia seeds in a saucepan over medium heat. Once bubbling, mash the berries and cook 2 more minutes, stirring constantly.
Spread the warm jam over the crust. Crumble remaining dough on top.
Bake for 25 minutes or until golden and crisp on top.
Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a rack. Let cool completely before slicing into bars. Store in an airtight container at room temp for up to 3 days or in the fridge for up to a week. They can also be stored in the freezer. Enjoy!
