Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup brown sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.75 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 0.25 cup honey
- 2 cups fresh blueberries
- 0.25 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, all-purpose flour, brown sugar, and salt. Mix well to combine evenly.
Pour in the melted butter and honey, stirring until the mixture is crumbly but holds together when pressed.
Reserve about 3/4 cup of the oat mixture for topping, and press the remaining mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish to form the crust.
In a medium bowl, mix the fresh blueberries, granulated sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice. Stir until the blueberries are well coated.
Pour the blueberry mixture over the oat crust, spreading it evenly.
Sprinkle the reserved oat mixture on top of the blueberries, ensuring an even layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is lightly golden and the blueberries are bubbling.
Remove from the oven and allow the bars to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Once cooled, use the parchment paper overhang to lift them out of the pan.
Cut into 12 bars and serve. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
