Ingredients
Bottom Layer
  • 2 Cups Quick Oats
  • ¾ Cup Whole Wheat Flour (fresh ground for great taste)
  • ¾ Cup Raw Cane Sugar
  • ¼ teas. Baking Soda
  • ¼ teas. Salt
  • 10 Tbs. Butter
  • 1 teas. Almond Extract
Middle Layer
  • 3½ Cups of Fresh or Frozen Blueberries
  • 1 teas. Almond Extract
  • ⅓ Cup Raw Cane Sugar
  • 3 Tbs. Whole Wheat Flour
  • ½ teas. Ground Nutmeg
Top Layer
  • ½ Cup Whole Wheat Flour
  • ¼ Raw Cane Sugar
  • ¼ Butter Softened
Instructions
  1. For the bottom layer: Combine oats, flour, sugar, baking soda and salt. Mix well. Then, melt your butter, add the almond extract to melted butter and pour into the oats/flour mix. Stir together until you have a slightly crumbly mixture.
  2. Press bottom layer into a 9x13 pan. Set aside.
  3. Middle layer: There are two ways you can do this. First option: sprinkle the almond extract over your blueberries while stirring them to insure even coverage. Mix sugar, flour and nutmeg together and stir in with the blueberries. Sprinkle/pour this over your bottom layer. Second option for middle layer. Instead of leaving blueberries whole, gently smoosh them together with your dry ingredients. This just makes for a more even texture in the fruit part of your bars.
  4. Top layer: mix butter, sugar and flour together until you have a well blended crumbly mixture. Evenly sprinkle this on top.
  5. Bake 425 for 15 minutes, then reduce heat and bake at 350 for 25 minutes.
  6. Serve warm and crumbly over ice cream, or refrigerate and cut into bars for a yummy breakfast or snack.
