Blueberry Oat Bars
It's summer time and today I'm happy to share with you a blueberry bar that can't be resisted. I tasted this last year at Berry Bounty Farms which is a family owned and operated berry stand, just a few kilometers down the road on Chilliwack Central. They also love to use our MGCC recipes.
- 4 cups fresh blueberries
- 1/2 cup orange juice
- 5 teaspoons corn starch
- 1 cup butter or margarine, softened
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 tsp almond flavor
- 2 cups flour
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 2 teaspoon baking powder
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Grease a 9x13 inch pan.
- Bring blueberries and orange juice to a boil in a sauce pan.
- Reduce heat and simmer about 10 minutes.
- Whisk in cornstarch and boil, stirring until thickened, about 1 minute.
- Cover with saran wrap and refrigerate or cool up to 30 minutes.
- Beat butter and sugar in a medium bowl until smooth and fluffy.
- Add almond extract.
- Mix in flour, baking powder and oats until mixture is crumbly.
- Reserve 1 cup crumb mixture for topping.
- Pat remaining crumb mixture into cake pan.
- Spread cooled blueberry topping evenly over crust.
- Sprinkle with remaining crumb mixture.
- Bake 30-40 minutes until lightly browned.
