Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 3 cups blueberries
- 2 Tbsp pure maple syrup
- 1 Tbsp water
- 3 Tbsp chia seeds
- Zest and juice of 1/2 of a lemon
- 2 small peaches, sliced into half moons
Crust
- 2 cups oats
- 1 1/2 cups whole wheat pastry flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt (2% or 4%)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 F. Add half of the blueberries (1 1/2 cups), water, and maple syrup to a small sauce pan over medium heat. Bring to a boil for 1 minute. Remove from heat and mash blueberries with a fork just until juices explode from the fruit. Stir in chia seeds, lemon juice, and zest. Let sit until ready to use. It should form a jam like substance.
- Meanwhile, mix all of the crust ingredients together EXCEPT Greek yogurt. Then remove half the mix and mix in the Greek yogurt just to that half. You will use this for the crust. The other half without the Greek yogurt will be your topping.
- Spread crust on a greased 8×11 pan and pat down to form into one thick crust. Bake for 10 minutes.
- While crust is baking, mix remaining blueberries with the blueberry-chia mixture. Remove pan from oven and spread blueberry mixture over top then add sliced peaches.
- Top with topping mixture and return to oven for 30-35 minutes, until topping is golden brown and filling is bubbling.
- Let cool on counter and then slice into bars. Optional: serve with vanilla ice cream or Greek yogurt.
