1 1/2 cups quick or old fashioned uncooked oats1 1/4 cups flour
1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
3/4 cup butter (1 1/2 sticks) melted
1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
1/3 cup strawberry or raspberry preserves (or homemade jam :)
1 teaspoon flour
1/2 teaspoon grated lemon peel (optional)
Heat oven to 350. Combine oats, flour, sugar and butter; mix until crumbly. Reserve 1 cup oat mixture for streusel; set aside. Press remaining oat mixture onto bottom of ungreased 8 or 9-inch square baking pan. Bake 13 - 15 minutes or until light golden brown. Cool slightly. In medium bowl, combine blueberries, jam, flour and lemon peel; mix gently. Spread over crust. Sprinkle with reserved oat mixture, patting gently. Bake 20-22 minutes or until light golden brown. Cool completely; cut into bars. Store tightly covered.
I thought of Brayden and his love for blueberries when I saw this recipe! I didn't add the lemon peel and I used our homemade freezer strawberry jam. Very berry good!
Recipe found in a 1994 Quaker Oats booklet.
Too bad I don't have any blueberries - otherwise I would make them for FHE treat!
ReplyDeleteNick just stopped by for lunch and said (in Nickspeak) Them blueberry thingies are good but you might go a little heavier on the blueberries and not so much on the oatie mealie part.
ReplyDeleteActually Dad also said he'd like more filling so I'm thinking you should add an extra 1/2 recipe of the filling. Just FYI
