These healthy, soft blueberry banana oat bars are a delicious gluten-free snack or breakfast on the go. This healthy recipe make your house smell amazing!

I’m so excited about this recipe for Blueberry Banana Oat Bars. I’ve been wanting to add some new healthy “treat” snacks to my children’s lunchbox rotation because I’ve been stuck on muffins for a while.

Store-bought granola bars, even the organic ones, are so full of sugar and other unnecessary ingredients and preservatives. They also tend to be expensive and over-packaged.

These oat bars are simple to make and they cost a fraction of what you’d pay for granola bars at the grocery store (see price comparison here). The flavor of these bars is so delicious. They don’t last long in my house!

These blueberry banana oat bars are soft and fruity. Let them cool completely before cutting into bars, or else they may fall apart a bit. Store at room temperature, or freeze for later.

Try my blueberry chia seed muffins for another delicious, fruity snack.
