Starbucks Blueberry Oat Bars Copycat Recipe 425

Steps:

• 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. Pour into a bowl. Place plastic wrap directly on surface. Refrigerate until cooled and bearing a consistency similar to that of a jam, about 1 hour or up to 1 day before using. In a large bowl, stir together oats, flour, brown sugar, salt and baking soda. Add butter to form a crumbly mixture. Reserve 1 1/2 cups of crumbs; pat remaining dough evenly into the bottom of a greased 9 x 13 inch pan. Spread blueberry mixture over the base. Crumble reserved amount of the base/topping over the blueberry mixture. Bake at 350F until light golden, about 40-45 minutes. Let cool completely on rack before cutting. Store in refrigerator.

Steps:

• For base/topping, cream butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla.
• Mix flour, soda, cinnamon, and oats and add slowly to creamed mixture.
• Spread 2/3 of this into 9x13 pan (it will be a bit thin).
• For fudge filling, melt remaining ingredients in a saucepan and pour over dough in pan.
• Shape the remaining dough into circles and press them into the fudge.
• Bake at 350° for 25 minutes, or until topping is lightly browned.
• Let cool quite a bit before cutting into bars, as it will result in a delicious gooey mess!
• Enjoy!
