Ingredients
  

1 ½ cups rolled oats

½ cup almond flour

½ cup unsweetened coconut flakes

½ cup honey or maple syrup

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

½ teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon baking powder

2 cups Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)

Zest of 2 lemons

Juice of 1 lemon

1 cup fresh blueberries (or frozen, thawed)

2 tablespoons poppy seeds (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8 inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.

    Prepare the Crust: In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, almond flour, coconut flakes, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, salt, and baking powder. Mix well until all ingredients are fully combined and crumbly.

      Assemble the Base: Press half of the mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish to create an even layer. Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, until lightly golden. Remove and let cool slightly.

        Make the Yogurt Filling: In a separate bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, lemon zest, lemon juice, and blueberries. If using, fold in the poppy seeds gently. Stir until everything is well incorporated.

          Layer the Yogurt Filling: Pour the yogurt mixture over the cooled oat crust, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle the remaining oat mixture over the top, pressing down gently to ensure it adheres.

            Bake Again: Return the bars to the oven and bake for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown.

              Cool and Set: Once baked, remove from the oven and let cool completely at room temperature. For best results, refrigerate for at least 2 hours before slicing into bars.

                Slice and Serve: Lift the bars out of the pan using the parchment overhang. Cut into squares or rectangles. Enjoy chilled or at room temperature!
