Blueberry Oatmeal Breakfast Bars

This has quickly become Camden's favorite treat! As soon as he sees the container it's in he starts bouncing to get some. It's great because these were super easy to make and I can keep in the fridge for when he needs a snack. Even I have enjoyed these (I can only eat mine once he goes to sleep...little stealer).
You can make with either fresh or frozen blueberries.
Here's the recipe for a perfect snack anytime of the day (so much better than the store bought bars).

Ingredients
  • 2¼ c. Old Fashioned oatmeal
  • 2¼ c. flour
  • ½ c. brown sugar
  • 1 c. butter (2 sticks)
  • 1½ tsp. baking soda
  • ½ tsp. salt
  • 3 c. fresh or frozen blueberries
  • ¼ c. sugar
  • 1 Tbsp. corn starch

Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. In a mixing bowl combine the oatmeal, flour, brown sugar, soda and salt. Melt the butter, and pour over the oatmeal mixture. Mix until incorporated and crumbly. Press ⅔ of the oatmeal mixture into a 9x13 pan, saving the other ⅓ for the topping.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine the blueberries, sugar and corn starch. Mix until the blueberries are evenly coated with the sugar and corn starch. Pour over the bottom crust. Crumble the remaining oatmeal mixture over the blueberries. Bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
  4. Remove from the oven and let cool completely before cutting.

I hope you enjoy this recipe for a tasty snack to have on hand at your house!!
