What’s Inside & Why It’s Lovely
The Oat Base:
Oat Flour & Rolled Oats
Ground and whole oats team up for the ultimate texture—soft yet slightly crumbly, with a satisfying chew. Oats are full of fiber and help keep you energized throughout the morning.
Maple Syrup
Naturally sweet, with rich caramel notes. A gentle way to sweeten without refined sugar.
Coconut Oil
Melted into the mix to bind and give just the right amount of richness, plus healthy fats for satiety.
Sea Salt & Vanilla
Just a pinch of salt and a splash of vanilla elevate all the cozy, toasty flavors.
The Blueberry Jam Layer:
Blueberries
Bursting with antioxidants and natural sweetness, blueberries shine in this sticky jam layer. Use fresh or frozen—whatever’s on hand.
Maple Syrup & Lemon Juice
Adds brightness and balance, with the maple syrup enhancing the berries and lemon bringing out their tang.
Chia Seeds
A natural thickener with omega-3s and fiber, chia transforms the fruit into a spreadable, jammy layer with no need for pectin.
Lemon Zest
A little citrusy lift to round it all out—fresh, zippy, and irresistible.
Enjoy them warm out of the oven, chilled from the fridge, or packed up for wherever your morning takes you.
