Yield Makes 36 squares

Number Of Ingredients 13

For base and topping
2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons finely grated fresh orange zest
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 sticks (1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons) unsalted butter, melted
For filling
3 cups raspberries or blueberries (3/4 pound)
1/3 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons fresh orange juice
1 tablespoon cornstarch

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Line a 9-inch square metal baking pan with a 12-inch-long sheet of foil, pressing it into bottom and up sides. Butter foil.
  • Make base and topping:
  • Blend together oats, flour, brown sugar, zest, baking soda, and salt with your fingertips until well combined. Stir in butter. Reserve 3/4 cup of mixture for topping; transfer remainder to baking pan, pressing it firmly in bottom to form an even layer. Bake in middle of oven until golden, 12 to 15 minutes.
  • Make filling while base is baking:
  • Stir together berries, sugar, juice, and ornstarch in a small saucepan, then bring to a boil over moderate heat. Cook, stirring, until thick and no longer cloudy, about 5 minutes, and remove from heat.
  • Assemble and bake squares:
  • Spoon filling onto oat base, leaving a 1/2-inch border around edge. Crumble reserved oat mixture on top.
  • Bake in middle of oven until golden and bubbly, 30 to 35 minutes. Cool completely in pan on a rack. Holding 2 ends of foil, lift from pan and put on a cutting board. Cut into 1 1/2-inch squares.

I'm not a huge fan of berries, but I thought these squares were still pretty good. The crust was really good and the filling was creamy and smooth.

These squares were a bit too sweet for my taste, but my kids loved them. I would probably cut back on the sugar next time.

Not bad! I thought the crust was a little dry, but the filling was delicious. I would try this recipe again, but I would make a few changes to the crust.

These squares were delicious! The crust was crispy and the filling was creamy and sweet. I used a mix of blueberries, strawberries, and raspberries, and they all worked perfectly together.

These berry squares were a hit at my last party! Everyone loved the combination of sweet berries and tangy cream cheese filling. The crust was also perfectly flaky and buttery.
