Description
Delicious and simple blackberry oatmeal bars, perfect for breakfast, snacks, or dessert, made with wholesome ingredients.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup old-fashioned oats
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour)
- 1/3 cup light brown sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (or coconut oil)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups fresh blackberries
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line an 8-inch square baking dish with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, mix together the oats, flour, brown sugar, baking soda, and salt until well combined. Stir in the melted butter and vanilla extract until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Reserve 1/2 cup of the oat mixture for the topping, then press the rest into the bottom of the prepared dish to form a crust.
- In a separate bowl, toss the blackberries with granulated sugar and cornstarch until evenly coated. Spread the blackberries evenly over the crust in the baking dish, then sprinkle the reserved oat mixture over the top.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the blackberry filling is bubbly.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before cutting into bars.
Notes
Serve warm or at room temperature. Great on their own or with whipped cream or ice cream.
