How to Make Cherry Oatmeal Cookie Bars
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or spray a 9x13 inch baking pan.
- Pit and drain 2 cups fresh or frozen cherries. If using frozen, thaw completely.
- Pulse the cherries in a blender or food processor until coarsely chopped but still chunky (avoid pureeing). Drain any excess juice.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 1 cup sucanat, 1 ½ cups whole wheat or spelt flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon salt, and 2 cups rolled oats.
- Cut in 1 cup (2 sticks) of margarine using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Reserve ¾ of the flour mixture. Press the remaining ¼ into the prepared baking pan.
- Evenly spread the blended cherries over the pressed dough.
- Crumble the reserved flour mixture evenly over the cherries.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let cool completely in the pan before cutting into bars.
