These Blueberry Oat Bites are perfect for a quick snack and they taste amazing!!! 😋
Here in the midwest, we often are limited to many fresh and seasonal fruits and vegetables. But blueberries are usually available all year round – but the best supply and price is available during the summer.
These no-bake blueberry oat bites are great for snacks, quick breakfast or even for traveling. They are soft yet chewy with all the taste and sweetness of fresh blueberries, full of rich in antioxidants and fiber.
