Ingredients
- 4 cups rolled oats
- 2 cups Bluebird Einkorn flour
- 2/3 cup brown sugar
- 2 cups butter melted
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
Stewed Rhubarb
- 4-5 cups rhubarb finely chopped
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 small orange zest & juice
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Melt butter and brown sugar in a medium sauce pan and stir until incorporated.
- In separate bowl mix oatmeal, flour, salt, and baking soda. Add warm butter and sugar to the oatmeal and flour and blend until thoroughly incorporated.
- Oil a 9 x 13 pan. Spread mixture on bottom of pan, reserving 1 cup for the top. Using your hand, gently press the mixture into the pan to form a firm layer.
Stewed Rhubarb:
- Combine chopped rhubarb, sugar, orange juice and zest in saucepan over medium-low heat. Simmer gently, stirring occasionally, until sugar is dissolved and rhubarb begins to soften, about 8-10 minutes.
- Turn heat to low, and continue to simmer and stir for 10 more minutes until mixture resembles a thick sauce. Turn off heat. Transfer to a bowl to cool.
- Evenly spread 2 cups of the stewed rhubarb over the oat mixture. You will have some stewed rhubarb left over (delicious topped over vanilla ice cream). Sprinkle the remaining cup of oat & flour mixture on top.Note: 16 oz. of any jam can be used in place of stewed rhubarb.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow bars to fully cool before cutting them into squares and serving.
