Starbucks Blueberry Oat Bars Copycat Recipe 425

BLUEBERRY OAT SQUARES - STARBUCKS COPYCAT

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.).

STARBUCKS OATCAKES RECIPE - (3.8/5)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Sift together dry ingredients (flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt). You can play with the combination of whole wheat and all-purpose flour until you get the right consistency. You can even go all whole wheat if that is what you prefer although it does tend to get really dry. If you go all white flour, this oatcake will quickly turn into a scone. Blend together the warm water and blueberries. In a separate bowl, mix the remainder of the ingredients (oats, fruits, oil, applesauce, eggs, brown sugar, eggs, vanilla). Applesauce can be substituted for the oil to make this healthier fare but all applesauce is too dry. Add blueberry/water mixture to the oats mixture. Stir well before adding the flour. Fold in the dry ingredients, one cup at a time. Once you add the flour, do not overwork it. I usually stir the mixture about 10 times to incorporate the flour into the wet ingredients and that's it. Overworking the flour will cause it to be tough and too chewy. I like the texture to be crumbly. Prepare a 9x13-inch pan or a muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray. I have not experimented with a muffin tin so you have to be careful with the cooking time. Keep an eye on it. In a 9x13-inch pan--bake for 25 to 30 minutes. Let cool then serve.
