Creating your own Blueberry Oatmeal Breakfast Bars is simple. Follow these steps for a successful outcome:

1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×9-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

2. Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, whole wheat flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir them together until evenly mixed.

3. Combine the Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the honey or maple syrup, melted coconut oil, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.

4. Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

5. Add Blueberries: Gently fold in the blueberries (and nuts or seeds if you’re including them) until they are evenly distributed in the mixture.

6. Pour into the Pan: Spread the mixture evenly in the prepared baking pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.

7. Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

8. Cool: Remove the pan from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for about 10 minutes. This helps them set properly.

9. Slice: Once cooled, cut into squares or bars according to your preference.
