Ingredients
1 pint blueberries1/4 cup agave nectar1/4 cup apple juice1/2 teaspoon vanilla2 tablespoons cornstarch mixed with enough water or juice to form a smooth paste (I used water for the purpose of recipe calculations)3 cups oatmeal* (regular, not instant)1/2 teaspoon cinnamon1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder1/4 teaspoon salt6 ounces unsweetened applesauce6 tablespoons (3/8 cup) agave nectar6 tablespoons (3/8 cup) water1 teaspoon vanilla
Preheat oven to 375F. Oil an 8x8-inch baking dish.
In a small saucepan, combine the blueberries, agave nectar, and juice. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. When it boils, stir in the vanilla and the cornstarch mixture. Continue to stir as the mixture boils and thickens. Remove from heat and set aside.
Put 1 1/2 cups of the oatmeal into a blender and grind it to a fine powder. Pour it into a medium-sized mixing bowl and add the remaining oatmeal, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt. Mix well. Stir in the apple sauce, agave nectar, water, and vanilla, and mix well.
Spread half of the batter into the prepared pan, smoothing well to cover the bottom of the pan. Spoon the blueberry filling over the batter, and cover the blueberries with the remaining batter.
Bake for 30 minutes, or until the top is lightly browned. Allow to cool before cutting into bars.
