Ingredients
  

For the Base:

1 cup rolled oats

1/2 cup almond flour

1/4 cup coconut sugar

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/3 cup melted coconut oil

2 tablespoons maple syrup

For the Blueberry Filling:

2 cups frozen blueberries

2 tablespoons honey or agave syrup

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 teaspoon lemon zest

1 tablespoon cornstarch

For the Topping:

1/2 cup crushed nuts (walnuts or pecans)

1/4 cup shredded coconut (unsweetened)

2 tablespoons butter or coconut oil (for non-vegan option)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.

    Make the Base Mixture: In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, almond flour, coconut sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Stir well to combine.

      Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in the melted coconut oil and maple syrup. Mix until the ingredients are evenly coated and crumbly.

        Form the Crust: Press about 2 tablespoons of the base mixture into each muffin cavity to form a compact crust. Ensure the crust covers the bottom evenly.

          Prepare the Filling: In a medium saucepan, combine the frozen blueberries, honey (or agave syrup), lemon juice, lemon zest, and cornstarch. Cook over medium heat, gently stirring until the mixture is bubbly and thickened (approximately 5-7 minutes).

            Fill the Muffin Cavity: Spoon a generous amount of the blueberry filling over the crust in each muffin cavity.

              Prepare the Topping: In a small bowl, mix the crushed nuts and shredded coconut with melted butter or coconut oil. Sprinkle this topping evenly over the blueberry filling.

                Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown.

                  Cool Down: Once baked, let the crumble bites cool at room temperature for about 10 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack.

                    Freeze: For a frosty treat, place the cooled crumble bites in the freezer for at least 2 hours before serving.

                      Serve: When ready to enjoy, remove the crumble bites from the freezer. You can serve them frozen or let them thaw for a few minutes for a softer texture. Enjoy your refreshing blueberry lemon bites!
