Equipment

Ingredients
- 1 cup natural peanut butter
- ½ cup pure maple syrup
- 2 cups rolled oats or old fashioned oats uncooked
- ½ cup fresh blueberries extra blueberries to add on top
- ½ cup pistachios or walnuts or almonds chopped
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 tsp baking powder

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350° and line an 8 inch baking pan with parchment paper. Spray the parchment paper with cooking spray and set aside.
- In a large bowl combine peanut butter and pure maple syrup and mix well.
- Stir on oats, blueberries, nuts, salt, chia seeds, baking powder, and egg. Mix until well combined.
- Spread the mixture onto prepared baking pan and spread out into an even layer. I used a rubber spatula to help with this by pressing down on the top. Add additional blueberries on top, if desired. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until the outside begins to brown.
- Remove from oven and let cool completely before cutting into bars.
