Healthier Blueberry Jam Bars Recipe
Report
These blueberry jam bars are soft, sweet, and bursting with fruity flavor. They have a hearty cookie-like base, a thick layer of juicy blueberry jam in the middle, and a dusting of oat crumble on top. They're an easy-to-make dessert or snack, and they're ready in just an hour!

Ingredients
The Oat Crumble
- ½ cup butter
- ¼ cup coconut oil
- ¼ cup honey
- 1 ½ cups rolled oats
- 1 cup all-purpose flour sub gluten-free, if needed
- ½ cup sugar can use coconut sugar
- A pinch of sea salt
The Blueberry Jam
- 3 cups fresh blueberries
- ¼ cup sugar or honey your choice!
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- Juice and zest of 1 lemon
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper. In a small pot, melt the butter and coconut oil. Pour the honey into the pot.
- In a large mixing bowl, add the rolled oats, all-purpose flour, sugar, and sea salt. Pour the melted butter into the bowl (keep the pot handy) and mix well. Set aside 1 cup of the mix and pour the rest into the prepared baking pan. Press down firmly to create the crust.
- In the same pot used for the butter, add all the blueberry jam ingredients. Bring to a boil over high heat then reduce the heat to low. Simmer for 2 minutes, or until the jam thickens. It won't be as thick as jam from your fridge.
- Pour the jam over the crust and sprinkle the top with the remaining oats you set aside. Bake in your oven for 40 minutes.
- Let the blueberry jam bars cool in the pan and then remove them with the parchment paper and cut them into 12-16 bars.
