Step 1. Place a pan on the stove over medium-high heat. Add the blueberries, chia seeds and water.

Step 2. Heat everything up until the blueberries become soft. Mash the blueberries and bring to a boil.

Step 3. Let the water evaporate to create a thick jam. When it’s ready, remove from the heat and let it cool down on the side.

Step 4. Grab a large bowl and add the maple syrup, coconut oil, and peanut butter.

Step 5. Give the ingredients a good mix.

Step 6. Add the rolled oats and the oat flour.

Step 7. Give it another mix.

Step 8. Cover a 5×9-inch loaf pan with parchment paper. Add 2/3 of the mixture into the loaf pan.

Grab a spatula and level out the oat mix.

Step 9. Spread the blueberry jam on top of the oat mix.

Step 10. Level it out with your spatula.

Step 11. Grab the rest of the oat mix and crumble it on top of the jam, spreading it evenly using your fingers.

Press with a spoon to pack everything. Make sure you cover as much of the jam as possible with the oat mix.

Step 12. Place the loaf pan in the fridge and keep it there for 3-4 hours. This should be enough time for the oat bars to set.

When they are firm, remove them from the loaf pan using the edges of the parchment paper.

Step 13. Slice them into 8 equal-sized bars.

Step 14. They are ready to enjoy! You can keep them in the fridge for up to 7 days.
