Red White Blue Oat Bars are a delicious and patriotic treat perfect for summer gatherings. These bars combine a buttery oat crust with raspberry jam and fresh blueberries for a sweet and fruity flavor.

  • Total Time: 50 minutes
  • Yield: 12 bars 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted (1 stick)
  • ½ cup brown sugar, tightly packed
  • 1 large egg
  • 1½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1½ cups traditional rolled oats
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup raspberry jam or preserves
  • ½ cup fresh blueberries

Instructions

  1. Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal later.
  2. In medium bowl, stir together melted butter and brown sugar until smooth. Stir in egg until fully mixed.
  3. In separate large bowl, stir flour, salt, baking powder and oats together. Add brown sugar mixture to flour mixture to make crust mix, stirring until fully blended. Press 2/3 of the oatmeal crust mix evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan.
  4. Spread raspberry filling evenly over oatmeal crust. Sprinkle ½ cup blueberries over raspberry filling. Crumble remaining crust mixture over the blueberries.
  5. Bake 30-35 minutes or until the top is golden and the edges are bubbling. Let it cool completely in the pan before lifting it out with the parchment paper handles to cut into bars.

Notes

  • Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
  • For a firmer texture, refrigerate before serving.
  • Substitute with other jams or berries if desired.
