Blueberry-Oat Bars
When I'm looking for a recipe that is low fat, vegan and healthy, I often turn to one of my favorite blogs, Fat Free Vegan, by SusanV. This is a great blog with a wealth of recipes and a good search feature.
Having seen a post a while ago about Blueberry-Oat bars, I'd made a note to give the recipe a try.

First I cooked the blueberries briefly and thickened them with a slurry. (I'd run out of corn starch, so thickened them with a bit of flour. They would have been better with the corn starch.)
The batter is easy. Again, I didn't have enough applesauce, so sort of improvised. The recipe would have been better without my extemporizing. My batter was too dry in retrospect. I spread half the batter in an 8 x 8 ceramic dish:
Then I added the blueberry mixture and topped with the remaining batter and baked. Even with my recipe substitutions, these were quite good.
Next time I'll make them the right way.

Blueberries galore! I do love fat-free vegan. It never fails me.

Hi Susan - met you on the McDougall forum. Thanks for all your work here, but I do have a question. Is there any way we can enlarge the pics you post? Can't seem to do it - they are very small for my old eyes! Thanks
