Blueberry Oatmeal Breakfast Bars
Ingredients
Cooking spray
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/4 cups uncooked old-fashioned regular rolled
oats
2/3 cup packed light brown sugar
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup chopped toasted pecans
3/4 cup salted butter, melted
6 tablespoons blueberry, blackberry, or raspberry
jam
1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries
Directions
Prepare pan:
Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease an 8-inch square
baking pan with cooking spray, and line bottom and sides with parchment paper;
lightly grease parchment paper with cooking spray.
Make crust and topping:
Whisk together flour, oats, brown sugar, salt, and baking
soda in a large bowl; stir in pecans. Stir in melted butter until oat mixture
is thoroughly combined. Reserve 1 1/2 cups of the mixture. Press remaining 2
1/2 cups oat mixture in an even layer on bottom of prepared pan.
Make blueberry filling:
Place jam in a medium microwaveable bowl; microwave on HIGH
(100%) power 15 to 20 seconds, just until it begins to melt. Stir in
blueberries. Spread blueberry mixture evenly over oat mixture in prepared pan.
Sprinkle top of blueberry mixture with reserved 1 1/2 cups oat mixture.
Bake, cool, and cut:
Bake in preheated oven, rotating halfway through cook time,
until top is golden brown, 45 to 50 minutes. Transfer pan to a wire rack, and
let cool completely at room temperature, about 2 hours. Cut into 16 squares;
serve. Store leftovers in an airtight container up to 3 to 4 days.
