It’s summertime here in the Pacific Northwest which means all the delicious blueberries you can eat. I was craving something sweet so whipped up these Vegan Blueberry Pie Crumble Bars, and they totally hit the spot. It’s like a blueberry pie and a crumble had a love child. 🙂
I must say Blueberry Pie has always had a place in my heart and might arguably be one of my favorite flavors of pie. But these bars I “think” might be even better. Best part? They are pretty dang good for you too!
With ingredients like fresh blueberries, coconut oil, oat flour, almond flour and chia seeds, you could even eat these for breakfast and get away with it. Sweetened only with a little coconut sugar and maple syrup they are naturally refined sugar free, as well as being gluten free and vegan. I hop you love them as much as I do!
