For this second recipe, I selected the Blueberry flavor of the PB & J Bars.  I wanted to see how I could use this product in a different way. Since the product is made with oats it got me thinking.  I have been in the mood for a Fruit Crisp so I decided to see how this bar would work.

I ended up using two of the bars as a substitute for the rolled oats in the Fruit Crisp recipe.  I used my food processor and it crumbled well.  I was worried it might be too sticky.  It was not.

While this was in the oven baking, the house began to smell so wonderful!  The kitchen had the scent of nutmeg lingering as I used freshly grated nutmeg in the recipe.

Ingredients
  • 5 cups fresh or frozen blueberries

Notes
If fruit is frozen, let thaw. Do not drain.[br][br]How many PB & J Bars depends upon how much liquid the blueberries have. I used a 1/2 cup and could have used 3/4 cup to 1 cup due to the excess liquid.[br][br]May use dairy-free substitute for the butter.[br][br]Dairy-free versions may be substituted for ice cream or whipped cream.
I would love to hear if you have tasted the PB & J Bars.  My boys love them.  They are a great snack when we are on the road or when the little ones need something to eat. I appreciate the opportunity to share this great product with you, my readers!
