BLUEBERRY OAT SQUARES - STARBUCKS COPYCAT



Blueberry Oat Squares - Starbucks Copycat image

These wholesome bars are just like Starbucks blueberry squares (if not better!) My favorite thing about this recipe is the oatmeal base/crumble topping. It is so versatile and makes enough for a generous amount on the top and bottom because c'mon... isn't that everyone's favorite part?! I use this same oatmeal crust recipe with a multitude of different fillings, including swapping strawberries for the blueberries.

Categories     Bar Cookie

Time 1h5m

Yield 24 squares, 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups quick-cooking oats
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 cup butter, softened
3 cups fresh blueberries
1/2 cup sugar
1/3 cup orange juice
4 teaspoons cornstarch

Steps:

  • Filling: In saucepan, bring blueberries, sugar and orange juice to boil; reduce heat and simmer until tender, about 10 minutes. Whisk in cornstarch and boil, stirring, until thickened, about 1 minute. Place plastic wrap directly on surface; refrigerate until cooled, about 1 hour or up to 1 day before using.
  • Base/Topping: In a large bowl, stir together the oats, flour, brown sugar, salt and baking soda. Cut in the butter to form a crumbly mixture. Reserve 1 1/2 cups of the crumbs, and pat the rest evenly into the bottom of a greased 9 x 13 inch pan.
  • Spread the blueberry mixture over the base. Crumble the reserved amount of the base/topping over the blueberry mixture.
  • Bake at 350 degrees F until light golden, about 40-45 minutes. Let cool completely on rack as these cut better when they are fully set. (Make-ahead: Cover and refrigerate for up to 2 days or overwrap with heavy-duty foil and freeze for up to 2 weeks.).

DELICIOUS BLUEBERRY SQUARES!



Delicious Blueberry Squares! image

This has to be one of the best recipes for blueberry squares... taken my "Favorite Summertime Recipes" folder! You may use all blueberries, and the larger amount of cornstarch, if you prefer a more "gelatinous" filling, rather than a bit loose. If you follow directions carefully, you will have the most fantastic blueberry squares... I promise! Don't forget, chill for 30 minutes before baking! Please, do the crust only in the processor otherwise it will not have good results! Prep time includes chilling time of 30 minutes. Even better...use 2 cups blueberries with 1 cup raspberries if desired!

FINNISH BLUEBERRY SQUARES



Finnish Blueberry Squares image

This is a family favorite. I found the recipe in the Pillsbury Classic Cookbooks, November 1992 #141. I've been making it ever since. When you roll out the crust for the lattice top it does break so don't try to weave like a traditional lattice. If you cut into 12 squares, 1 square is 4 points on Weight Watchers. 24 bars is 2 points on Weight Watchers

Provided by Kathy in Dearborn

Categories     Tarts

Time 55m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup butter, softened

1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 egg
3 cups fresh blueberries or 3 cups frozen blueberries
1 cup sugar
3 tablespoons cornstarch
1 teaspoon powdered sugar (optional)

  • Heat oven to 375 degrees F. Pat 2/3 of chill dough into a 13X9-inch pan, pressing 1/2 inch up sides. Spread blueberry mixture evenly over dough. Roll out remaining dough to 1/4-inch thickness. Cut into 1/2-inch wide strips. Arrange strips in lattice design over filling. (Strips may break apart but will break together.) Trim and seal edges. I use fork tines to seal.

FRESH BLUEBERRY SQUARES



Fresh Blueberry Squares image

If you're looking for an easy, delicious blueberry recipe...you've just found it! I've had this one for over 40 years, and make it at least once every blueberry season. The texture is moist, soft & a little chewy, with a slight crunch from the cinnamon-sugar topping. All together, they create a bit of magic in your mouth!

Provided by Angela (Grammy) Derby

Categories     Cakes

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 c flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 c butter (1 stick)
1 c granulated sugar
2 eggs
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 c fresh blueberries (chopped apples work well too)

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350'F.
  • 2. Sift flour, baking powder, salt and cinnamon onto waxed paper.
  • 3. Melt butter in large saucepan, over low heat. Remove from burner. Beat in brown sugar, granulated sugar, eggs and vanilla, until smooth consistency.
  • 4. Gently fold in blueberries, so as not to crush them.
  • 5. Carefully stir in flour mixture a little at a time. Again, trying not to crush too many blueberries. Mix thoroughly. The batter will be thick.
  • 6. Spread into a greased (I use Pam) 9x13" pan. (I put a little Pam on my fingers and press it into place.) Make a mixture of cinnamon & sugar, and sprinkle over the top.
  • 7. Bake 25-30 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool completely and cut into squares.

Tips:

  • To ensure even baking, make sure all ingredients are at room temperature before starting.
  • To achieve a golden brown crust, brush the tops of the bars with melted butter or milk before baking.
  • For a gooey, chewy center, slightly underbake the bars. Insert a toothpick into the center; if it comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached, they are done.
  • For a crispy crust, bake the bars for a few minutes longer until the tops are golden brown and the edges are slightly firm.
  • Let the bars cool completely before cutting them into squares to prevent them from falling apart.
  • Store the bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

Conclusion:

With a flaky crust, gooey center, and sweet blueberry filling, these blueberry squares are the perfect treat for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. Whether you prefer a classic blueberry flavor or want to add a twist with different fruits or spices, these bars are sure to be a hit. So preheat your oven and get ready to indulge in a delicious and satisfying homemade dessert!
