Apple, dark chocolate & blueberry bars

These insanely delicious bars will be make you very happy I promise. The soft fruitiness from the apples and blueberries play beautifully with earthy oats and decadent chunks of dark chocolate. They are nut free so would work really well for lunch boxes. We love them for afternoon tea too with a mug of strong black tea or for those mornings when I'm running out the door and realise I haven't had breakfast yet.

Apple, dark chocolate, blueberry & oat bars

2 free range eggs - lightly beaten

1/4 cup melted butter or coconut oil

1 teaspoon vanilla essence

2 apples - grated and gently squeezed of liquid.

2 cups rolled oats

3/4 cup tapioca flour

1/2 cup coconut or light muscovado sugar

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

70g dark chocolate - roughly chopped (about 1/2 cup)

1/2 cup blueberries

Preheat oven to 180 degrees celsius.

Combine the eggs, melted butter, vanilla and grated apple in a large bowl. Mix well.

Add the oats, tapioca flour, sugar and cinnamon. Stir well until thoroughly combine. Gently fold in the dark chocolate and blueberries. 

Line a 30cm x 10cm slice tin with baking paper. Pour the batter in and use a spatula to smooth the surface.

Bake for 35 - 40 minutes until firm and golden. Leave to cool completely before slicing. I find I get the neatest slices if I place the whole slice in the fridge for an hour first (I love tidy edges!)

Will last 3-4 days in an airtight container. Freezes well for up to a month.
