Ingredients
  

1 cup almond flour

1/2 cup rolled oats (ensure they are certified gluten-free if necessary)

1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut

1/4 cup maple syrup

1/4 cup almond butter (or any nut butter of your choice)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 cup dried blueberries (substitute with fresh if available)

1/4 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

1/4 cup dark chocolate chips (optional, for topping)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Base: In a spacious mixing bowl, add the almond flour, rolled oats, and shredded coconut. Stir thoroughly until all dry ingredients are evenly combined, creating a uniform mixture.

    Mix Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, combine the maple syrup, almond butter, vanilla extract, and salt. Whisk them together until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

      Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients in the mixing bowl. Using a spatula, gently fold the ingredients together until thoroughly mixed. If the mixture appears too dry, add a small splash of water or an extra spoonful of almond butter to help bind it together.

        Incorporate Blueberries and Walnuts: Carefully fold in the dried blueberries and chopped walnuts (if using), ensuring an even distribution throughout the mixture.

          Press into the Pan: Line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, allowing some extra paper to hang over the sides for easy removal later. Transfer the mixture into the dish, pressing it down firmly with your fingers or the back of a spatula to form a compact, even layer.

            Chill and Set: Place the prepared baking dish in the refrigerator and allow the bars to chill for at least 2 hours, ensuring they firm up nicely.

              Optional Topping: If you choose to add chocolate, melt the dark chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl by heating them in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until fully melted and smooth. Drizzle the melted chocolate over the chilled bars for an extra indulgent touch before slicing.

                Slice and Serve: Once the bars have set, use the overhanging parchment paper to lift them out of the pan. Transfer to a cutting board and slice into squares or rectangles according to your preference.

                  Store: Keep the bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. For longer storage, freeze them to enjoy at a later date.
