These bars were bonkers good.
They remind me of my sweet Grandma Hill and all of the happy childhood memories of the lovely home baked goods that she spoiled us with as kids. Mmmmmm.
My choc-aholic P-Man loved 'em too. He's always proving me wrong that way. I'll make something that I'm sure he'll reject on principle alone, and he's like "Hey these are super good".
They're extremely easy to put together too, and who doesn't love that? No one with three spunky little girls, and a penchant for not standing by a hot stove on a hot day.
And of course you can use whatever fresh berries you may have on hand. I'd even toss in peaches, nectarines, or rhubarb... Oh baby.
Now go make them and be happy.
Recipe by Bliss From Scratch, adapted from The Sisters Cafe | Printable Version
Heat oven to 350 degrees and grease an 11×7 inch baking pan. Combine oats, flour, brown sugar, nuts, baking soda and salt. Add melted butter, mixing until crumbly. Reserve 3/4 cup mixture; press remaining mixture onto bottom of prepared dish and bake for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, combine blueberries, granulated sugar and 2 tablespoons water in medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, simmer 2 minutes uncovered, stirring occasionally. Combine remaining 1 tablespoon water, cornstarch, and lemon juice, mix well. Gradually stir into blueberry mixture; cook and stir about 30 seconds or until thickened. Spread over partially baked base to within 1/4 inch of edge, sprinkle with reserved oat mixture. Press topping down into blueberries slightly. Bake on the center rack, 18 to 20 minutes or until topping is golden brown. Cool on wire rack and cut into bars. Store tightly covered. Enjoy! |
