They are refined sugar-free, but they are still sweet enough for my kids to count them as dessert and be excited every time I make them.

Ingredients and directions to make the Easiest Healthy Breakfast Blueberry Bars

The main ingredient of these healthy blueberry bars is plantains. If you followed me on my blog from the beginning, you know I am a fan of plantains. My love for plantains started when we followed the autoimmune protocol diet awhile back.

Plantains are so versatile, and are great for allergy-friendly baking. They can replace eggs, dairy, and gluten from baked goods. We use them when they are green for grain-free crackers or when they are ripe for grain-free vegan pancakes or grain-free sweet bread.

What you need to make these gluten-free blueberry bars:

Ripe Plantains (yellow or black)

Brown Rice flour

Baking soda

Fresh or frozen blueberries

Baking sheet

Parchment paper ( This Swedish parchment paper is all-natural unbleached paper. It does not contain bleach, plastic, aluminum, or other chemicals that would leach into your food. )

Blender or food processor

As you might have figured out from the list above, this is not an autoimmune diet compliant recipe , since it uses brown rice flour. However, if you are on AIP diet, you can use this recipe for this AIP tea bread and just add blueberries to it.

Direction on how to make these Gluten-free Blueberry Breakfast Bars

Step 1 

Step 2

Blend plantains until there are a smooth consistency. Add the plantain mixture to a bowl.

Step 3

Add rice flour and baking soda. Mix in until all dry ingredients are incorporated.

Step 4

Add in the blueberries.

Step 5

Step 6

After cooling a little bit, cut it in squares.

Notes

You can buy your rice flour from store or online. However, recently I discovered you can make your own, if you have a high speed blender. It’s actually really easy to make, and the flour is so much fresher. Also, it ends up being more affordable than buying the flour from the store. These two brands of blenders are my favorite and will work great to make rice flour or other gluten-free flours. Vitamix it’s probably the best of the blenders.However, if you need a less expensive option, Ninja is a great choice and one of my favorite that I have used for a long time.
