Yes they are cookies, but they’re more like breakfast bars…just shaped like a cookie! Full of oatmeal and nut butter, these lemon blueberry oatmeal cookies are a great breakfast on the go or a scrumptious snack.

On how much I love the lemon-blueberry combo.

Blueberries

Citrus has been around for a few months now but blueberries are a new addition to the May, Spring seasonal list. Here’s some fun facts about these berries:

Fun Facts

🫐 Blueberries are one of the few fruit species native to North America dating back to pre-colonial times.

🫐 The U.S. is the world’s largest producer of blueberries. If all the blueberries grown in North America in one year were spread out in a single layer, they would cover a four-lane highway from New York to Chicago.

Health Facts

🫐 Blueberries are considered a superfood because they are an excellent source of dietary fiber, vitamin C, vitamin K, manganese, iron, and a number of antioxidants.

Ingredients

2 Chia or Flax Eggs (2 tbsp chia/flax + 5 tbsp hot water)
1 Cup Oat Flour (1 ¼ cups old fashioned oats blended)
1/2 Cup Almond Flour
1 Cup Old Fashioned Oats
2 Lemons (zested)
1/2 tsp Baking Powder
1/2 tsp Baking Soda
1/2 tsp Cinnamon
1/8 tsp Ginger
1/8 tsp Nutmeg
1/2 Cup Nut Butter (almond, cashew, sunflower, etc!)
1 Tbsp Lemon Juice
1/2 Cup Maple Syrup
1/4 Cup Coconut Oil (melted)
1 tsp Vanilla Extract
1 Cup Blueberries
1/2 Cup Walnuts (finely chopped)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F & line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Make your chia or flax egg and set aside.
Chop up your walnuts so they're ready to go later.
If you need to make your oat flour, use a blender to create a fine powder (until stading up in the blender). If you've already got some premade, grab it!
In large bowl, mix together all of the dry ingredients: oat flour, old fashioned oats, almond flour, lemon zest, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, salt, nutmeg and ginger. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, combine all of the wet ingredients: nut butter, maple syrup, coconut oil, vanilla extract & egg (that should be solidifed now).
Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and mix until combined. Fold in blueberries and walnuts.
Scoop out batter, roll into balls and place onto baking sheet. Gently press flat with a spatula or spoon.
Bake for 20-22 minutes or until golden brown. When done, remove from oven and let cook on sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to cooling rack.
