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.

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)

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:

  • Baking Time and Temperature: Follow the baking time and temperature mentioned in the recipe as accurately as possible. Different ovens have different characteristics, so adjust the baking time and temperature if necessary.
  • Measuring Ingredients: Use measuring cups and spoons to ensure accurate measurements of ingredients. This directly impacts the final outcome of your blueberry squares.
  • Oven Temperature: Make sure your oven is preheated to the desired temperature before placing the blueberry squares in the oven.
  • Mixing the Dough: When mixing the dough, work quickly to prevent overmixing. Overmixing can result in tough and crumbly blueberry squares.
  • Using Cold Butter: Using cold butter in the dough helps create flaky layers in the crust.
  • Chilling the Dough: Chilling the dough before baking helps prevent spreading and creates a more defined crust.
  • Blueberry Filling: Use fresh or frozen blueberries for the filling. If using fresh blueberries, toss them with a bit of flour to prevent them from sinking to the bottom of the squares.
  • Filling Quantity: Ensure that you have enough filling to cover the entire surface of the dough. Adjust the amount of filling as needed.
  • Baking the Squares: Bake the blueberry squares until the crust is golden and the filling is bubbling.
  • Cooling the Squares: Allow the blueberry squares to cool completely before cutting and serving.
  • Storing Tips: Blueberry squares can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Blueberry squares are a delicious and versatile treat that can be enjoyed for breakfast, dessert, or as a snack. With a crispy crust, sweet blueberry filling, and a dusting of powdered sugar, these squares are sure to satisfy your taste buds. By following the detailed recipes provided, you can create perfect blueberry squares that will impress your family and friends.
