Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup brown sugar, packed
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish, or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, flour, brown sugar, baking soda, and salt. Mix until evenly distributed.
Stir in the melted butter and vanilla extract until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Press about two-thirds of the oat mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish to form a crust.
In a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat, combine the blueberries, granulated sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice. Stir constantly until the mixture thickens and starts to bubble, then remove from heat.
Spread the blueberry mixture evenly over the oat crust in the baking dish.
Sprinkle the remaining oat mixture over the top of the blueberries.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-40 minutes, or until the top is a golden brown and the blueberry filling is bubbly.
Allow the oatmeal bars to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before cutting into squares.
Serve and enjoy your homemade blueberry oatmeal bars!
