Ingredients

Units Scale

For the Bars

  • 1 1/2 cups quick cooking oats
  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 1 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon all spice
  • 1 cup dried apricots, roughly diced
  • 1/2 cup crushed pineapple, thoroughly drained (I used fresh pineapple and put it through the food processor, then strained with cheesecloth)
  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 8 ounces blueberries

For the Chocolate Drizzle

  • 4 ounces dark chocolate, broken into pieces
  • 3/4 cup heavy whipping cream


Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350˚F. Line a 9X9 baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine oats, flour, sugar, sea salt, nutmeg, cinnamon, and all spice. Stir until completely combined.
  3. Add apricots and pineapple. Stir until thoroughly mixed.
  4. Stir in melted butter and vanilla extract until completely combined (dough will be a little crumbly)
  5. Gently fold in blueberries.
  6. Spread the dough onto the prepared baking pan in an even layer.
  7. Bake for 30 minutes, until golden.
  8. Remove and cool on a wire rack for at least 1 hour up to over night.
  9. When cool to the touch, make the chocolate drizzle: In a microwave, melt chocolate and cream in 30 second increments, whisking together until thoroughly combined.
  10. Drizzle on top of the bars as desired. Freeze 2 minutes, until chocolate has hardened. Cut to serve.
