Blackberry Oat Bars

Blackberry oat bars are the perfect mix of wholesome and sweet. They combine the rich, sweetness of blackberries with the nutty, hearty texture of oats and whole wheat flour. The best part? They're incredibly easy to make, require simple pantry ingredients, and work as both a not-too-sweet dessert or a satisfying breakfast.

Step 1

Make the Blackberry Oat Bars

Step 2

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Coat an 8×8 baking pan with cooking spray and line with parchment paper.

Step 3

Place flour, rolled oats, light brown sugar, butter and vanilla extract in a food processor. Pulse a few times until the mixture resembles a coarse meal. (NOTE 1)

Step 4

Press half of the flour-oat mixture into the bottom of the baking pan. Press with a measuring cup or your hands.

Step 5

Spread the blackberry preserves over the flour-oat mixture. This is a delicate process as the loose flour-oat mixture easily stick to the preserves before it is spread. (NOTE 2)

Step 6

Divide the remaining flour-oat mixture over the blackberry layer and gently press down.

Step 7

Bake in the oven for about 35 minutes or until golden brown and slightly bubbly.

Step 8

Cool bars completely before cutting them into squares. (NOTE 3)

Step 9

Make the Powdered Sugar Glaze (optional)

Step 10

Mix powdered sugar and milk and drizzle over the top of the blackberry oat bars.
