Completely sweet with DOUBLE the blueberry flavour, these blueberry muffin bars pack the fluffier texture of a muffin appropriate correct proper right into a DELICIOUS gluten-free and vegan bar that makes a unbelievable breakfast or snack.
Holy.SNAP. Okay. Sooner than I permit you to understand how ridiculously obsessed I am with these blueberry muffin barswe’ve to debate blueberry jam. I promise it’s not as boring/uncommon on account of it sounds.
So I on a regular basis thought blueberry jam was pretty extreme up there as far as well-liked jam flavours go, nonetheless my 10pm journey to the grocery retailer on Thursday night time time taught me in one other case.
And, optimistic… I was searching for meals after I practically undoubtedly might want to have been sleeping, nonetheless the image voltaic doesn’t set until after 10pm, and these longer [almost] summer season season days have me feeling pretty energetic until on the very least midnight… What larger means to profit from all that additional consciousness than to knock some procuring off the ol’ to-do pointers?!
No, critically… that’s, like, my favourite time to go grocery procuring. I’m not a fan of website associates and crowds (is anyone?!), so I try to run my errands all by off-peak hours to keep away from spending an hour+ doing one challenge that ought to solely take 20 minutes. That’s the rationalization I don’t assume I’d closing prolonged in a really large metropolis, and why I’m in full awe of individuals which is able to defend their sanity whereas dealing with every day commutes which could be 2+ hours prolonged.
Nonetheless I digress… as quickly as further to the blueberry jam!
So the [first] retailer I visited didn’t have any. I do know.
I level out, they didnonetheless there have been just some jars in a wall FULL of strawberry, raspberry, blackberry, space berry, apricot and grape, and every was loaded with added sugars and preservatives… which, if I’m going to eat, I’d considerably have in jelly bean choice, thanks very quite a bit.
So that was refined. I level out, you’re a lady who areas blueberry jam above all fully completely totally different jams, so learning that it’s truly one amongst many least well-liked flavours made me uncover that people have no model was a bit little little little bit of a shocker.
Luckily, no specific particular person was spherical to take heed to my offended mutterings (one totally different excuse why I retailer at off-times), and I had solely all through the close to earlier gotten some new music that was good for night time cruises, so I didn’t ideas making the trek to a singular retailer… after which taking the scenic route residence so that I’d play my tune a lot of further circumstances.
I’ll share that obsession with you guys tomorrow, though, as a result of appropriate this second is all about these double blueberry muffin bars…
What’s this double blueberry enterprise? Appropriately, it implies that these tasty bars have a double shot of blueberry goodness.
First, we’ve obtained latest blueberries blended proper into the batter.

Till you need blue bars – by which case, mix these frozen berries as crazily as you need!
Second, we’ve obtained a lot of spoonfuls of blueberry jam dolloped on excessive. Not solely does this add a bit bit little little bit of extra sweetness (use jam sweetened with fruit juice to keep away from added refined sugars), nonetheless it intensifies the blueberry flavour reasonably further and creates a bar that’s pretty darn irresistible…
Texture-wise, these blueberry muffin bars are principally muffins in bar choice. They’re delicate and fluffy with a tender crumb, nonetheless nonetheless have a contact of that good granola bar-esque chewiness on account of rolled oats and oat bran.
