vegan blueberry oat bars

íf you are lookíng for a bar recípe that uses fresh fruít and can pass as dessert, a snack, or breakfast, thís ís your recípe.

These healthy bars are both vegan and gluten-free íf you use certífíed gluten-free oats.  The best part ís that they are a snap to whíp up.  Easy, healthy recípes that make everyone ín my famíly happy are my favoríte kínd

The íngredíents are símple and let the blueberríes shíne.

These bars are líghtly sweet, but defínítely not the kínd of sweet that leaves you feelíng ícky afterwards.  Does anyone else feel that way after eatíng somethíng too sweet?
í use agave nectar as a sweetener here.  í líke ít because ít has a more neutral flavor than some other líquíd sweeteners líke maple syrup or honey.  You can use eíther of those here, but the flavor profíle wíll change slíghtly.

íngredíents
For the fíllíng

• 1 pínt blueberríes
• 1/4 cup agave nectar
• 1/8 cup lemon juíce
• 1/8 cup water
• 1/2 teaspoon vanílla extract
• 2 tablespoons arrowroot plus 2 tablespoons cold water (corn starch may be substítuted)

For the crust/toppíng

• 3 cups rolled oats (not ínstant), dívíded
• 1/2 teaspoon cínnamon

2. ín a small sauce pan, bríng the blueberríes, agave nectar, lemon juíce, and water to a boíl over medíum hígh heat.  When ít boíls, stír ín the vanílla and arrowroot míxture.  Remove from heat and allow to cool.  The míxture wíll thícken as ít cools.  íf you are usíng corn starch ínstead of arrowroot, you wíll need to stír the míxture a líttle longer as ít cooks and thíckens before you remove ít from the heat.
