Bo-Berry Oat Bars (Baked Oatmeal with Blueberries and Icing)
Description
The bars incorporate a blend of quick oats, protein powder, all-purpose and coconut flour, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt to form a wholesome dry base. Wet ingredients include egg, unsweetened applesauce, sugar-free pancake syrup, almond milk, egg whites, vanilla, and butter extract, which are combined to form a batter with balanced moisture and sweetness. Dried blueberries are folded in before baking at 350°F until the bars set with a clean toothpick test, preserving a soft, chewy texture.
The optional icing, made from vanilla protein powder, plain Greek yogurt, milk, and sweetener, adds a creamy glaze that complements the baked oats' earthy flavors. The baking process ensures the bars hold together but remain tender.
These baked oat bars are convenient for on-the-go eating and can be stored refrigerated for several days. The icing can be applied immediately with a quick freeze step to set or stored separately to add just before eating, accommodating preference for texture and sweetness control.
