Ingredients

1/2 cup flour
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1 cup quick-cooking oatmeal
2/3 cup brown sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup fat-free vanilla yogurt
2 1/2 cups fresh Naturipe® Farms blackberries, rinsed and drained
3 tablespoons sugar
4 1/2 tablespoons orange juice
2 teaspoons cinnamon, divided
1 cup fat-free vanilla yogurt, optional

Directions

Preheat oven to 350° F. Spray 10-inch baking dish with cooking spray. Combine flour, oatmeal, brown sugar, 1 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, and baking soda in a medium bowl and mix well. Stir in yogurt just until combined. Set aside 1 cup of flour mixture. Press remaining mixture into bottom of baking dish. Bake 20-25 minutes. While crust is baking, prepare filling. Combine blackberries, sugar, orange juice and 3/4 teaspoon cinnamon in a medium saucepan; bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer, uncovered, 8-10 minutes, stirring frequently, until slightly thickened. Remove from heat. Carefully spread filling over baked crust. Sprinkle with reserved crumb mixture and press into filling. Bake 20-25 minutes longer until topping is lightly browned and crisp. Cool on wire rack; cut into bars and serve with a dollop of fat-free vanilla yogurt sprinkled with remaining cinnamon if desired.
