Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup light brown sugar
- 1 cup butter
- 0.33 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 cups fresh blueberries
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease or line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, all-purpose flour, and light brown sugar. Mix well.
Melt the butter and pour it into the oat mixture. Stir until the ingredients form a crumbly texture.
Reserve about 3/4 cup of the oat mixture for the topping. Press the remaining mixture evenly into the prepared baking pan to form the base.
In a medium bowl, mix the granulated sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice. Add the fresh blueberries and toss until they are evenly coated.
Spread the blueberry mixture evenly over the oat base in the pan.
Sprinkle the reserved oat mixture over the top of the blueberries, lightly pressing it down to adhere.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the blueberry layer is bubbling.
Allow the blueberry oat squares to cool completely in the pan before cutting into 9 squares. Serve and enjoy!
