Blueberry Oat Squares

Blueberry Oat Squares.....YUM!!!

These have to be the best tasting bar dessert I have ever enjoyed.   So easy and quick.  Blueberries are not quite in season, so I made these with frozen blueberries from the grocery freezer case.  If you should be so lucky to still have berries from last year, they will taste better on a cold winter night right from the oven with a little ice cream.   I have only made these with blueberries, but I can't imagine that strawberries or raspberries wouldn't be just as good.

Blueberry Oat Squares

1/4 c sugar

2 tb cornstarch

1/3 c water

1 ts lemon juice

2 1/2 c blueberries; fresh or frozen

1 pkg yellow cake mix

1 1/2 c quick-cooking oats; divided

8 tb butter; cold, divided

1  egg

1/4 cup brown sugar, packed

Preheat oven to 350F.

In a saucepan, combine sugar and cornstarch; gradually whisk in water and

lemon juice until smooth; bring to a boil stirring constantly. Stir in

blueberries; cook and stir for two minutes longer or until thickened and

bubbly; remove from the heat and set aside.

In a bowl, combine the dry cake mix and one cup of the oats; cut in six

tablespoons butter until crumbly. Set aside one cup of crumb mixture for

topping and stir egg into remaining crumb mixture. Press into a 13" x 9" x

2" baking dish coated with non-fat cooking spray; spread blueberry mixture

to within 1/4 inch of edges.

Combine the brown sugar, remaining oats and reserved crumb mixture; cut in

remaining butter until crumbly; sprinkle over top of blueberry mixture.

Bake at 350 degrees for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown.
