½teaspoonvanilla bean paste or beans from half vanilla pod
⅓cupfinely ground almondsalmond flour works well
¼teaspoonsalt
1Tablespoonalmond butter
2cupsroughly chopped Blue Diamond almonds
1cupdried blueberries
¼cupold fashioned oats
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Line an 8 x 8 baking pan with parchment paper.
In a large bowl mix together the honey, vanilla bean paste, ground almonds, salt, and almond butter together until well combined.
Add in the almonds, blueberries, and oats. Mix until everything is well coated in the honey mixture.
Pour everything into the baking pan and press down firmly. I recommend lightly greasing your hands so you can press as tightly as possible. This is essential for the bars to keep their shape.
Bake for 25 minutes, then leave to cool in the baking pan until it reaches room temperature.
Chill in the refrigerator for a few hours. Remove, then cut into bars.
