Blueberry Oatmeal Bars

Submitted by: Mary Director

These are NOT a sweet bar, but for more for those who are eating healthy and want to cut back on calories, sugar and fat.  Recipe is from my Ninja Cooking System cookbook. I do not know how this would turn out in the oven as it is steam baked.

Ingredients

cooking spray

1/4 c butter, melted

1/2 c packed brown sugar

1 medium egg

1 tsp vanilla extract

3/4 c quick oats

1/2 c all purpose flour

1/8 tsp salt

3/4 c fresh or frozen blueberries, mine were thawed out

2 c water for steaming baking in ninja

Directions

1. 1 Ninja Cooking System to steam bake your bars.

2. Spray multipurpose pan with cooking spray and set aside. Stir butter, brown sugar, egg, and vanilla in a medium bowl. Now add your oats, flour, salt and blueberries. Stir till well combined.

3. Pour into pan. Next, add your 2 cups of water to your Ninja and set the rack down inside. Place your multipurpose pan on the rack.

4. Set to OVEN at 400 F. for 40 – 45 minutes. Cover & cook till set in center & lightly browned at edges. ~~~Steam cooked bars to perfection.~~~~

5. Remove pan from Ninja, place on a cooling rack for about 10 minutes or so.
