My husband loves oatmeal cookies and bars. So, when I came across this recipe I knew I had to make it. I don’t know about you, but I love a good oatmeal bar, but sometimes I get in a rut. It seems like I always add raisins to oatmeal recipes, or butterscotch morsels. But blueberries and oatmeal?
Now, don’t get me wrong. I love raisins. Raisins are awesome. They pair up great with oatmeal but sometimes I just want to have something a little different. That’s where these babies come in. The blueberries with the oatmeal really compliment each other. My husband and I actually eat these for breakfast when we need something quick.
I used my blueberries that I picked and had frozen, because when you go to the blueberry farm and pick 15 pounds of blueberries, you have to freeze them. I like this recipe so much that I’m planning on making my oatmeal cookie pancakes with blueberries next time around.
I was a bit sceptical about mixing the blueberries into the batter. I thought about putting some of the batter in the pan, spreading the blueberries and finally covering them with the more batter. But I’m glad I didn’t. The blueberry is hearty enough to handle the gentle fold.
