These oatmeal fruit squares are beyond easy, and they’re good for you too because there’s oatmeal in them, right!?
These are such a hit in my house that I made these squares 3 times this week. The filling is just a matter of what fruit you have in your kitchen. My favourite fruit to use is fresh or frozen blueberries or black cherries.
Oatmeal Fruit Squares
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 1/2 cups old fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1 1/2 cups butter cubed
Instructions
-
Butter a 9” X 13” baking pan, or line it with parchment paper. (Parchment paper makes it easier to lift out the squares for cutting) Put all ingredients in a bowl. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut butter into the dry ingredients into tiny bits like squished peas. Press a little more than half of the oatmeal mixture into the baking pan. Sprinkle your choice of fruit on the bottom layer, use more fruit if needed to cover bottom. Press the remaining oatmeal mixture on top.
-
Bake at 325°F for 50-55 minutes until top is lightly browned. Store leftover squares in the fridge or freeze.

I can’t wait to make your oatmeal fruit squares.. Love how easy your recipe is.
wow a new way to enjoy oatmeal. I need to make these as a snack soon!
This feels like a perfect mixture of both delicious and healthy. Good one!
This sounds so good thank you for sharing!
Kind of reminds of fig newtons (is that spelled right, it is those bars that fig in it). I would love to try to make oat squares with blueberries and maybe strawberries!
I think figs would work great too!
I am sure if I share this post with my daughter. She would want me to make it with her. Thanks for sharing.
That really does seem easy! And you don’t have to cut up the fruit first? That’s a win in my book!
You don’t have to cut the blueberries, but I do cut up the peaches when I use them.
Blueberries are not my favourite – can they be replaced by other fruits? What would you recommend?
Definitely! Raspberries, cherries or chopped peaches all work nicely.
Reminds me of the oat bars I used to eat as a kid, only fresher and better
