Completely sweet with DOUBLE the blueberry flavour, these blueberry muffin bars pack the fluffier texture of a muffin right correct proper right into a DELICIOUS gluten-free and vegan bar that makes a unbelievable breakfast or snack.
Holy.SNAP. Okay. Previous to I can help you understand how ridiculously obsessed I am with these blueberry muffin barswe’ve got 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 evening time taught me in one other case.
And, constructive… I was looking for meals after I just about positively ought to have been sleeping, nonetheless the image voltaic doesn’t set until after 10pm, and these longer [almost] summer season season season days have me feeling pretty energetic until on the very least midnight… What larger means to benefit from all that further consciousness than to knock some procuring off the ol’ to-do ideas?!
No, critically… that’s, like, my favourite time to go grocery procuring. I’m not a fan of site buddies and crowds (is anyone?!), so I try to run my errands all by means of off-peak hours to avoid spending an hour+ doing one subject that ought to solely take 20 minutes. That’s the clarification I don’t assume I’d last prolonged in a really large metropolis, and why I’m in full awe of individuals that may defend their sanity whereas dealing with daily commutes which may 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 lots.
So that was refined. I level out, you’re a woman who locations blueberry jam above all utterly utterly completely different jams, so finding out that it’s truly one amongst many least well-liked flavours made me uncover that folk have no model was a bit little little little bit of a shocker.
Luckily, no specific individual was spherical to be conscious of my offended mutterings (one completely different excuse why I retailer at off-times), and I had solely contained in the close to earlier gotten some new music that was good for evening cruises, so I didn’t ideas making the trek to a novel retailer… after which taking the scenic route residence so that I’d play my tune a lot of additional circumstances.
I’ll share that obsession with you guys tomorrow, though, on account of right this second is all about these double blueberry muffin bars…
What’s this double blueberry enterprise? Accurately, it implies that these tasty bars have a double shot of blueberry goodness.
First, we’ve obtained latest blueberries blended proper into the batter. You may use frozen berries as appropriately, nonetheless chances are you will want to toss them in a tablespoon of flour and very gently fold them into the batter to cease your bars from turning blue. 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 further sweetness (use jam sweetened with fruit juice to avoid added refined sugars), nonetheless it intensifies the blueberry flavour fairly further and creates a bar that’s pretty darn irresistible…
Texture-wise, these blueberry muffin bars are principally muffins in bar choice. They’re mild and fluffy with a tender crumb, nonetheless nonetheless have a contact of that good granola bar-esque chewiness because of rolled oats and oat bran.
