Vanilla Almond Blueberry Bars Food

BLUEBERRY VANILLA ALMOND BARS

Steps:

• 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.

VANILLA ALMOND BLUEBERRY BARS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375°F and grease an 8-inch square pan.
• In a large bowl, beat the egg white, butter, brown sugar, and almond extract with a spoon until creamy.
• Beat in the flour, baking powder and baking soda.
• Stir in the granola.
• Press about 2/3 of the dough into the bottom of the prepared pan.
• In a medium bowl, mix the blueberries and sugar; spoon over dough to within ½ inch of the edges.
• Crumble the remaining 1/3 of dough on top of the fruit.
• Bake at 375°F for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown and set. (High altitude - bake for 30-35 minutes.)
• Cool completely, about 30 minutes, then cut into 16 bars.

CHEWY ALMOND BARS WITH BLUBERRIES

Steps:

• Line a bread pan (8 x 4 inches) with parchment paper over hanging on the sides. (It makes easy to pull out baked bars from the pan) Not needed if using foiled baking pan. Just spray with a butter spray. Just like shown in the pictures.
• Preheat your oven to 300°F (149°C). Pulse lightly 3/4 cup of the almonds into chunks.
• Add almond halves, almond chunks, oats, salt and blueberries in a large mixing bowl and mix well. Next add peanut butter, vanilla and honey. Mix to combine.
• Transfer this mix into the baking pan. Press it all firmly. You may use greased back of a spoon/spatula to press the mix down evenly.
• Bake these for about 20-24 minutes. Or until they appear golden-brown on top. Mine were done in 22 minutes. The bars may appear sticky. Don't be tempted to continue to bake these. They will firm up further in the refrigerator.
• Take them out of oven and let cool on a wire rack for some time and place in the refrigerator for an hour or so. It will help them to firm up.
• Remove them from pan using overhangs. Cut into desired shapes with a sharp knife.

BERRY ALMOND BARS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease a 9x9 inch square baking pan. In a saucepan over medium heat, melt butter. Remove from heat and add 1 cup vanilla chips, but do not stir.
• In a large bowl, beat eggs until foamy. Gradually mix in the sugar. Stir together the softened chips and butter, and blend into the egg mixture along with the almond extract. Combine the flour and salt; stir into the batter until just mixed. Spread half of the batter into the prepared pan.
• Bake for 15 to 20 minutes in the preheated oven, or until golden brown. In a small saucepan, over low heat, warm the jam to make it more liquid. Spread the jam over the warm crust. Stir the remaining cup of vanilla chips into the batter, then drop the rest of the batter by teaspoonfuls over the jam. Sprinkle with almonds.
• Bake for an additional 30 to 35 minutes in the preheated oven, or until a toothpick inserted into the center, comes out clean. Cool in pan on a wire rack before cutting into bars.
