These Blueberry Lemon Oatmeal Bars are served as an after school snack at least once a month in my house. The Greek yogurt bakes up almost like a dense cheesecake topping over a sweet oatmeal crust. Since it is made with whole food ingredients, I can make it for my girls and feel no guilt over serving a sweet treat.<\/p>\n

\"Blueberry<\/a><\/p>\n

This recipe is a great example of how cooking with whole food ingredients doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice taste. If your pantry doesn’t include white whole wheat flour, can I please encourage you to pick up a small bag? It is lighter than whole wheat flour, so it is easier to substitute for all purpose flour in recipes without weighing a recipe down. Of course, if you don’t have white whole wheat flour and still want to make this recipe, all purpose flour works great.<\/p>\n

I usually use frozen blueberries. It’s hard to find good blueberries where I live, so I just pick up a big frozen bag of organic blueberries at Costco. If you have access to good, fresh berries, they would be excellent in these bars.<\/p>\n

By the way, while this recipe is more of a dessert cookie bar, if you look at the ingredients, it is not unlike a coffee cake. At least that is what I tell myself when I serve it for breakfast!<\/p>\n
