Guest Recipe: Blueberry Porridge Squares
I absolutely love all of Livia's recipes, every time I go to hers I seem to munch my way through her entire kitchen! These blueberry porridge squares are one of my absolute favourites though, so I'm really happy that she's shared them with us as her guest recipe. They're wonderfully simple, with only 5 ingredients, and they're so great if you're busy and on the go a lot. I've made lots of these before to have for breakfast when I'm in a rush and they're an absolute life saver!

Step-by-step
- Preheat the oven to 180C and grease a brownie tin with a small amount of coconut oil
- Add all the ingredients to a food processor except for the 60g of blueberries, which are to stir through later. Pulse everything a few times until the mix is nicely combined, but not totally smooth.
- Transfer the mix to a bowl and stir through the extra blueberries. Then pour everything into the greased tray
- Bake the mix for about 15 minutes, until the middle is cooked- you may need an extra few minutes
- Leave to cool, before slicing into squares.
