  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds or flaxseed

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Lightly grease or line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper.

Add:

Step 3: Fold in Blueberries

If using frozen blueberries, do not thaw them first to avoid excess moisture.

Step 4: Bake

Top with a few extra blueberries if desired.

Bake for 28–35 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is lightly golden.

Step 5: Cool & Slice

Allow the bars to cool for at least 10–15 minutes before slicing into squares.
