This Ninja is proving me wrong that healthy can taste good. With a low amount of sugar,flour and fat these bars are for the purist at heart. They are delicious bites of oats & blueberries; pure & wholesome of the goods inside. :-) These are lightly sweet & more healthy. Especially if you want to cut back on calories, sugar and fat. I look forward to making them again and adding some spice, and trying different berries as well. Recipe is from my Ninja Cooking System cookbook. I do not know how this would turn out in the oven as it is steam baked.
