2. In a large bowl, combine the oats, protein powder, almond flour, ground flaxseed, chia seeds, baking powder, and salt.
3. In another bowl, whisk together the applesauce, honey or sweetener, Greek yogurt, almond butter, egg, and vanilla extract.
4. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until well combined.
5. Gently fold in the blueberries.
6. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
8. Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan before cutting them into squares or bars.
9. Store the Blueberry Yogurt Protein Bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
