Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, combine the pitted cherries, sugar, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Cook over medium heat for about 10 minutes until mixture thickens.
- Line a 9x13-inch or 9x9-inch baking pan with parchment paper and spray lightly with cooking spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, quick oats, rolled oats, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir until blended.
- Add the room temperature butter and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Press two-thirds of the crumb mixture into the prepared pan, pour the cooled cherry filling over it, and top with the remaining crumb mixture.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C), bake for 30-35 minutes until golden brown and bubbly.
- Allow cooling completely in the pan on a wire rack before slicing into squares.

Notes
For best flavor, use fresh cherries and allow bars to cool completely before cutting. Store in an airtight container.
