Blueberry Almond Oat Crumb Squares - butter

Method

• Preheat oven to 350°F and grease a 9x13 glass baking dish.
• Heat the butter in a small pan over low heat until melted. Remove from heat and stir in almond extract. Set aside.
• While the butter melts, combine the oats, flour, brown sugars, salt and cinnamon in a large bowl. Add the butter to the oat mixture and stir until moistened. Stir in the oil and continue to mix until combined. Gently fold in the blueberries.
• Dump the mixture into the prepared pan. I say dump because it won't pour-you'll have to plop it into the center of the baking dish, and then spread the mixture out into an even layer. I found this to be easiest using my hands.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes or until the top is golden brown. Cool completely before cutting.
• Notes:
• Use any fruit, or any mixture of fruit that your heart desires in these. And, if you don't like and/or don't have almond extract, use vanilla, or maple, etc.
• Canola or other light vegetable oil can be substituted for grapeseed oil and you can use all-purpose instead of whole wheat pastry flour if you prefer.
