Blueberry Oat Bars

Ingredients

2 cups rolled oats  

2/3 cups oat flour  

1/2 cup gluten-free flour  

1 cup brown sugar  

1/2 tsp sea salt  

1/2 tsp baking soda  

3/4 cup butter, unsalted  

1 1/2 cups blueberries  

1/2 cup evaporated cane sugar  

1 tbsp lemon juice  

1 tbsp cornstarch  

1 tbsp water 

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 325 F. Spray a 9 'x 13' baking pan with canola oil.  

2. In a mixer, combine oats, both flours, brown sugar, salt, baking soda, and butter. Divide the oat mixture in half. Press half the mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan.  

3. In a medium saucepan, over medium-high heat, combine blueberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Bring to a boil.  

4. In a small bowl, whisk together cornstarch and water to form a slurry. Add to boiling blueberry mixture. Continue cooking until thickened. Cool slightly before spreading the blueberry mixture over the crust. Sprinkle the remaining flour/oat mixture over top.  

5. Bake for 25 minutes. Allow bars to cool. Cut into 24 squares. 

    

   If you’re gluten-sensitive, double-check which oats you use. Some are processed in the same facility as items that contain gluten, or even with the same equipment.
