Ingredients
Blueberry Filling:
2 ½ cups fresh blueberries, rinsed
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 teaspoons cornstarch
¼ cup sugar
Oat Crust & Crumble:
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 ½ cups old-fashioned oats (not instant)
½ cup honey
¼ cup brown sugar, packed
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
Pinch of salt
Instructions
Preheat Oven: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang for easy removal.
Make Crust & Crumble: In a large bowl, combine flour, oats, honey, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Stir until combined. Add melted butter and vanilla, mixing until crumbly. Use your hands to knead lightly until mixture comes together (it will still be slightly dry and crumbly).
Reserve Crumble: Set aside 1 cup of the oat mixture for the topping.
Form Crust: Press the remaining oat mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan.
Prepare Filling: In a medium bowl, mix blueberries, lemon juice, sugar, and cornstarch until well coated.
Assemble: Spread the blueberry mixture evenly over the crust. Sprinkle the reserved oat crumble on top.
Bake: Bake for 45 minutes, or until the top is golden and the filling is bubbly. Check occasionally to avoid over-browning.
Cool & Serve: Allow bars to cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing. Cut into squares and serve.
Notes
Let the bars cool longer for cleaner slices.
You can substitute frozen blueberries (do not thaw before using).
Add chopped nuts for extra crunch if desired.
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
